Buchela is having to learn and he doesn't like it. More times than not, he cries when he arrives at his class room or refuses to enter. Someone has been going with him to school every single day.

Every couple of hours, she wakes up to breastfeed. Nothing new about that. I pick her up and put her to my breast. I don't even open my eyes. I am exhausted! All I can think about is finishing up and going back to sleep. Except, she doesn't eat. I keep on offering but she doesn't take my breast. Odd.

If you get a chance, watch it. I think it is going to be amazing. We are expecting fireworks here in Dalian.http://www.dalianmitmita.com/yblog/index.cfm/2008/8/8/Happy-Olympics Dinbit at Two Months (7 comments)- August 6, 2008 At two months, Dinbit seems to have figured out her purpose in life.
