Another Update!!!

I was pleasantly surprised, again, to have updated information for Kai on my e-mail when I got home from work yesterday! Here's a tidbit from the 2 pages of information:

Cheng Kai, male, is 94 cm tall and weighs 15.5 kg. His head circumference is 49 cm, chest circumference 54 cm, and foot length 16 cm. He has twenty teeth.

This converts to 37 inches tall and 34 pounds. It's definately an improvement from the measurements that were from August of last year. He's growing!!

Cheng Kai likes to eat eggs, milk, candy, and snacks, and he especially likes milk and eggs. He can eat several eggs and still want more. At night he still calls for milk (nai nai). He also likes to eat vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, tofu, taro, broccoli, greens, carrots, and white radishes, etc. He loves soup and meat, and he likes baked pork, soft, and he can eat several pieces. In terms of fruit, he likes bananas and apples.

Cheng Kai is a sweet boy, and he’s polite, hospitable, and enthusiastic about people. If a guest comes, he is very happy, and when it’s time to eat, he has to sit next to the guest. When the guest leaves, he will see them to the door, saying “zai jian, man man zou” (good-bye, go safely). When he sees other nannies, he will greet them on his own initiative.

Cheng Kai really likes to ride in a car, and when they leave, he runs to where the car is. He likes to go out, and he also likes to ride the escalator at the supermarket. He likes to play with other children.

Cheng Kai is in good physical condition. He has one habit when he sleeps, and that is to have his hands outside the covers, which means the top half of his body isn’t covered by the blanket. But he normally doesn’t catch cold. Cheng Kai is a sweet child and his family really likes him. Sometimes he is a somewhat insistent and after he quarrels with his foster big brother, he acts unreasonable.


The update also gave us some very specific information about his urination and bowel movements (I'll spare you the details). However, it did leave us wondering if he's familiar with using a regular toilet. Things that make you go hmmm.....
