Dang Ying( 党英) Update
Hello All!
I'm writing to you about Dang Ying, we adopted her almost 2 months ago today on November 24 2009. First, I would like to apologize that it has taken me so long to send you an update, it has been very busy since we got home due to holidays and everything.
Ying is doing GREAT. She is so smart, and is adjusting to her new life very well. While we were in China, she was very upset the first few days, especially when she would wake up, she would cry for a very long time. She obviously misses all her Chinese family, and we still go through the scrapbook and pictures with her, she points at people and claps and smiles. She is starting to talk to us a little bit too. She doesn't talk alot, but she understands alot. We still talk to her in Chinese, and she responds well. At night her brother will tell her that it is time for "shui jiao" and she gets upset. She does not like naptime or bedtime. She seems to be an early riser, she gets up early EVERY morning. This isn't too bad, but her brother is the opposite and stays up all night and sleeps late in the morning. She wakes up in the morning and goes to the door and yells "MATT!" to get him up. She will take him his water cup, and try to get him up. Her brother is 5 months older than she is, and they get along very well. They are both having to learn to share, but usually they play well together. She loves to sing and dance with him. She LOVES clothes. Hats, shoes, dresses, anything she can wear. She puts them on and goes to the mirror to look at herself, its so cute. She also doesn't seem to like women. She will almost never go to any woman, but she LOVES men. She will go right up to a man and ask to be picked up. She didn't like mom for the first week while we were in China. I had to do everything for her because if mom tried, she would go CRAZY screaming. I got to change alot of diapers and give alot of baths due to this,
A little about us now ! We have decided to name her Jessalyn MeiYing Ballard. *I* still call her Ying or Ying Ying. Big brother's name is Matt, he calls her Mei Mei or Ying. We have 2 dogs, which she was VERY scared of for the first month, but now she LOVES them. She will lay on the floor and play tea party with them. Hopefully we will start both of them in pre-school next year, and we will probably start them in a Chinese school too. It is very important to us that she retain her language and some knowledge about her culture. China is such an amazing place, with amazing people, and I don't want her to forget that. My wife and I have studied Mandarin with a private tutor for about 3 or 4 years, but we are still not very good at it, Our Chinese teacher is our official "Nai Nai" and she is very excited to have us home with our newest child. She is very insistent that we get involved with the Chinese community. We have been involved in our local Chinese community for several years now. I taught the childrens WuShu martial arts class her for 2 years. We also participate in Chinese New Year events, although this year we will be skipping that, and we will just watch since we have 2 kids, Ying and Matt stay with my mother during the week while my wife and I are at work. She LOVES to go over to grandmothers house, toys toys and snacks! She is very spoiled over there, and loved her grandparents very much.
We have seen doctors about her mouth, and heart as well. Everything looks good! The heart doctor said her operation repaired everything very well and she should not have any issues with it. Her mouth/lip doctors say her lip looks GREAT and that we should be able to fix the hole in her mouth in a few weeks.
We are extremely grateful to angelmom! You guys took very good care of her. We loved all the pictures, and the scrap book, and all the extra clothes and snacks you gave us! We couldn't believe what a great family she had in China. I know she will be missed around the house. Please feel free to email me back, I'll answer any question you might have! I will post some links at the bottom that have pictures and blog sites. Hopefully we will update regularly.
党英的美国收养父母来信了，很长很长，我是越看越想哭！
上边是英文原告，下边是我的翻译：
党英近况更新 --- 来自党英收养父母的邮件
我现在正给讲述关于党英的情况，我们收养她正好是2个月前的今天，2009年11月24日。首先，我希望向你们道歉，这么长时间才给你关于党英近况的更新，因为自从我们回到美国后，就赶上圣诞节和很多事情，一直很忙很忙。
党英目前非常棒。她是这样的聪明，对新的环境和新的生活调整的非常好！当我们还在中国的头几天，党英非常的不安，特别是当她醒来，她会哭很长时间。她明显地思念她在中国的大家庭的所有人！！！我们至今仍然会与她一同分享从中国大家庭带回来的纪念册和影集，她指着照片上的人，会高兴的拍手和微笑。党英正开始和我们有一点点的交流。她讲话不多，但是她理解的东西很多。
我们至今仍和她用中文交谈，她的反应和回馈非常好。每天晚上，比党英仅仅大五个月的哥哥MATT会对她说：“it is time for 睡觉！（现在是睡觉时间了）”，党英还会很不高兴。她不喜欢午睡和晚上睡觉。小党英似乎是一个早起的人，每个早上都会很早起床，这倒也不是坏事，不过她的小哥哥正相反，是个喜欢晚睡晚起的孩子。党英每天早上醒来，就会走到门口，冲着哥哥大叫：“MATT! MATT!!MATT!!!”, 要把他叫起来。然后她会把哥哥的水杯拿给哥哥，继续尝试把哥哥叫起床来和她一起玩！
党英的哥哥MATT仅仅比她大5个月，他们相处的非常融洽！他们两个孩子都正在努力学习分享，经常他们一起玩的非常愉快。党英喜欢唱歌，尤其喜欢和哥哥一起跳舞！党英喜欢衣服、帽子、鞋子和任何她可以穿戴的东西！她经常穿上它们，然后走到镜子跟前欣赏着自己，她实在是太可爱了！！
党英似乎不太喜欢女性，她几乎从来没有主动走向一个女性，但是她非常喜欢男性，她会直接走向一个男性，然后伸出她的小胳膊要求人家抱她！我们在中国的那个星期，党英不喜欢她的妈妈，为此我得到了所有的机会为党英做每一件事情 --- 换尿布、喂饭、洗澡…….，因为她的妈妈一旦尝试为她做什么，她就会歇斯底里的哭叫！！！
现在说一点关于我们吧。
我们已经决定给党英起名字叫：“Jessalyn MeiYing Ballard”，我现在仍然叫她英或者英英，她的哥哥叫她妹妹或者英。我们家有两条狗，头一个月党英非常害怕狗，但是现在党英非常喜欢他们！现在党英经常躺在地板上，和狗狗一起开茶话会。我们希望明年可以给两个小家伙一起上幼儿园，我们可能会让他们上中文学校。我们认为，让党英学习中文和了解她的文化是非常重要的事情。中国是一个非常神奇的地方，哪里有很多令人惊喜的人，我们不想让她忘记中国！
我的妻子和我很早就已经开始学习中文，我们3-4年前就聘请了私人老师学习普通话，但是至今我还不是很擅长说中文，很不好意思哦！！我们的中文老师是我们办公室的“奶奶”，每当我们带着我们最新的孩子（党英）回家时她也非常激动。她也非常坚持认为我们应该融入华人社区中，我们一直也在我们当地的华人社区中很多年了，我教那些孩子武术，我也参加中国的春节活动，尽管今年我们可能会跳过去，因为我们有两个孩子，我们需要给他们平衡。 英英和MATT这个星期住在我妈妈（他们奶奶家里），因为我和我太太这周还需要上班。党英非常喜欢去奶奶家里，因为那里有很多玩具和小点心！！！她现在已经被宠坏了，爷爷奶奶都非常爱她！！！
我们已经带党英看过医生，唇腭裂和心脏都检查过，一切都非常不错！心脏医生说党英的心脏手术做的非常成功，她已经不需要再做任何修补！！唇腭裂医生说党英的唇裂手术也非常棒，过几个星期党英会接受腭裂手术。
我们非常感谢天使妈妈！！你们把党英照顾的这样好，我们非常喜欢里面的每一张照片和签名档！我们几乎无法相信，党英曾经是在一个多么伟大、温暖的中国大家庭中生活过！我知道她至今仍然思念过去的房子！
请尽管给我回复邮件吧，我会回答你们所有问题。我给了你们一些链接，里面有党英照片和录像和blog地址，希望我们会不断更新她的事情！
