chloe's been planning a trip to china for about 2 years now.
she talks about her china-bound plans daily.
"to see the baby pandas!"
"i'm going to climb the bamboo & eat with those stick things!"
well,
today she packed her bags.
contents:
hello kitty mirror, baby chinchilla pet shop,
"where do kisses come from" golden book,
a few ponies, and a teddy bear.
she came in the kitchen with her strawberry shortcake backpack strapped on,
& with all the excitement a 4 year old can muster,
announced:
"k, i packed my backpack for the airport, brushed my teeth, and ate munch (lunch)....now i'm all ready to go to china!!!"
i then had the parental duty to inform her thatchina is very far away &
that we'd hafta save our pennies for many moons to go there...
i basically crushed her hopes & dreams.
she cried.
for a long while.
large, disappointed, china-loving tears.
***
i hope that one day
chloe gets to explore china.
and i dream that she gets to climb bamboo, eat with chopsticks & even meet her friend kia-lan.
...but in the meantime,
i told her we'd hit up wetzel pretzel at the mall for family date night.
she was thoroughly satisfied.

I love this! She should do lion dancing with Dane and Ash. I think Robby is going to teach them.
I hope she gets to go to China too....everyday at one time or another during preschool...she would tell us she was going to China to see the panda's......I LOVE HER!!!!!!! I LOVE HER DREAMS!
I think she's going to go on a Mission to China someday. She'd look adorable as a Sister Missionary on a bike with her Strawberry Shortcake back pack on.......
Adorable for sure!!
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard her talk about going to China...we'd almost have enough money to send her! Love her sweet dream...hope she can go someday. {are pandas nice?}
Man! I could only dream about exploring outside of Idaho, let alone China! :) She is SO ambitious- shell be there sooner that she thinks!
ah. makes me smile. maybe i should start saving some pennies for her. :)
What to do you want to bet she serves a mission in China??
This is so sweet. They probably don't have the pandas and "sticks" that she wants, but maybe she'd like it?
