Will has spoken his first two English words--"No Lily."

It is amazing how quickly children can pick up on a new language. Will is beginning to understand so much of what we say. It was so funny yesterday when Lily did something she was not supposed to do and he shook his finger at her and very clearly said "no Lily." We spent the day shopping at a beautiful place called Shamian Island yesterday and ate at a restaurant with American food--hamburgers, grilled cheese, french fries. We all ordered American food but ordered Will fried rice. He did not want his food but wanted what we had--it is amazing how quickly his taste buds are changing. This morning, in about an hour, we leave for our US Consulate appointment to apply for the visa--we can only cross our fingers and pray that things work out at this point. :)
