- Yesterday when we said that is was time for lunch he said, "Let's meet Ms. Sally and Katie at ChickFilA!" (That was his all time favorite playdate!)
- He asked to "go swim at that place with Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Mack." (He's referring to the pool at the hotel that we stayed in the night before we left for England.)
- Today as we were walking along the river he declared that we should "walk to Grandma Alice's house."
- He met a couple of boys whose Grammy was coming to visit them...now he's ready for his Grammy to be here in England.

We've got 4 people here in China that are feeling that deprivation QUITE acutely! You can only truly understand this whole notion if you've lived through it! It's hard to get your brain around it when you're 2!
