Thank goodness Elijah has finally figured out day and night! We are still working on going to sleep and staying asleep, but at least there is sleep. I think today is the first day I haven't needed a nap or felt like a zombie since returning home. Elijah, much like Ethan, loves to be outdoors even if it's cold. He is trying new foods everyday, and really likes green beans and sweet potatoes. He has started using sign language for "more." The boy loves food!
While in China, we noticed a song that played on almost every toy. (The toys also played things like "What Does the Fox Say" and Christmas carols.) On the flight home, Phillip asked one of the flight attendants what the song was. He said it is called "Little Apple" and is extremely popular in Asia. When we got home, Phillip found the song on YouTube, along with the choreographed dance. Low and behold, that was the dance we kept seeing in Beijing (before we received our children and bought toys). Apparently everyone breaks out into the same dance when they hear it. There was a group of people dancing one night in the dark outside a church when we passed back by (I thought maybe flash mob). There was also a group of people dancing in a salon one day (I thought maybe we were passing by the Asian filming of Legally Blonde, lol). Anyhow, sometimes Phillip plays the song at home because the boys enjoy it. You should see Ethan and Elijah dance, it's adorable!
Here is a fitness video version of the song to see some dance moves.
Here is a ridiculous but interesting music video of the song to know what it's about (with Chinese and French subtitles).
