Today we went to Carré Four, a french Wal-Mart type store, to shop for the kiddo. We were done before the other family, and were waiting in line to check out behind a few other customers. Now, checkout is very busy at every store we've been to so far in Beijing.
Well, Pawpaw and Grandma had picked out a toy for him, a little remote-controlled car. When Paw paw separated the things they were buying, the car went with him. Well, not knowing about the whole "pay before you play" rule, Keith thought he was being robbed and started wailing. Loudly. We have no idea what he was saying but he got a lot of attention from the crowd. Eventually he got over it... when I gave him the Transformers toy that we bought for him.
Then, out on the sidewalk/shopping cart area where we were waiting, he decided it was a good idea to drop his pants and pee on the ground. I mean, he DROPPED HIS PANTS and PEED ON THE GROUND. Suddenly everyone in our party except me (daddy) was a few steps farther away, and the little old ladies that are always standing around in these places, apparently guarding China from indecency (or maybe just gossipping), started laughing at us. "Well," I thought, "go ahead and laugh at your chinese custom of letting kids pee anywhere, we Americans have all our teeth."
No pictures of any of this, of course.
Now, it's almost bath time for him. It went okay last night, but we've been scolding him for lovingly hitting and pinching his sister. He's not real happy with me at the moment.

Ah, the joy of little boys...even American boys will pee in the strangest of places.
Oh well, you know John Charles has done that when we had company over once...obviously not in as much of a public place but I understand. So glad things are going well. We are thinking and praying for you all.
