Chinese

Ann has been speaking Chinese for 6 hours straight, roughly translating between us and Yunyun. Though her former caretakers described her as very shy, Yunyun seems to have opened up and will ask questions and tell things to Ann. Just two hours after meeting her, we went for a swim in the pool where she was smiling, laughing and splashing.

Congratulations to your family on your new sister & daughter Yunyun!!
We are so excited to see the pictures of her. She is so beautiful! Ann & Yunyun look so cute together. It must be very comforting to have Ann speak Chinese with her. Thanks Dane, for all of the wonderful pictures. Love, The Noacks
