Chinese Sayings

One of the ladies that we had dinner with last night made this comment.... 'You know if I didn't know that Isabella was a girl, I would assume she was a he.' At first I was stunned with this comment... not because I haven't heard it before but I've never had anyone I know be so blunt about it. But then she continued to say, 'The Chinese have a saying that if your child is a girl but could pass for a boy then your next child will be a boy.' (She explained this much better but that's the gist of the saying.) Mike and I both thought this was cool. I had to ask her though what made Izzy look like a boy... mainly if it was her lack of hair... but she said there wasn't one thing... that she just overall could pass for a boy. Interesting.........

Well... better get to bed early this evening. We head out to Thailand tomorrow and between the flight and 3+hr car ride to the resort... it could be a long day. :)
