Today we had a glimmer of sunshine, although Darci’s mood was rather thunderstorm like!! We went to the park today. It was unbelievably busy with retired folks doing their thing (exercise, ping-pong, singing). It was really interesting. In this park I am really a minority, no other non-Asians in sight. So it made it really bad when Darci threw a temper tantrum. She was inconsolable, so I just let her scream. Needless to say I got many stares and even some grandmas tried to get her to calm down, which did not work. She eventually fell asleep-thank goodness!!! The afternoon temper tantrum was not as bad, but of course it was in public at McDonald’s. She wanted some corn that she saw someone else eating and I had not bought her any (I had bought ice cream). Needless to say I went and bought her some corn. This evening was rather quiet, no temper tantrums. However, we all met in the lobby to get our pictures taken (the children dressed in their Chinese costumes. Tomorrow is another free day-I am running out of things to do, maybe the park again?
