Red Couch - China Day 11*

Zoe and Poppi- Red Couch 1-16-12

It is a tradition among adoptive families to have their children dress in traditional Chinese outfits and have their photos taken while sitting on the red couch. This typically done both those families staying at the White Swan (on Shamian Island) , but since the White Swan is closing for renovations, adoptive families no longer stay there. But undeterred by this minor detail, a group of us got together and made the trip back to the Island and became a part of this long standing tradition. I am glad that we did because the girls looking so sweet in their traditional outfits.

They took it all in stride, as they do most things. The only thing that seems to rock their boat is a daddy that is too slow on the draw when it comes to bottle prep or a mommy that doesn't always get wind of a dirty diaper until it's right next to her ;(
