Day 10:Today I played with Tian Ci for the whole day. In the morning we played a very funny game. Tian Ci would go somewhere he wasn't supposed to go and Tian Hui(the baby with spina bifida) I would have to run to find him. I would grab him and she would escort us back to the middle of the room. We were all pleased with how much wlaking we got Tain Hui to do because of the game. After I had to go for lunch, they continued the game with one variation, Tian Ci ran away and then when Tian Hui found him he would walk back of his own accord, as I was not there to grab him. I was told about this uproarious development when I returned from lunch.

At lunch I learned a curious fact about naming conventions and the paths that have taken the children here to BCH3. It seems like their are no Dangs from my stories ,that is incorrect. Everyones who's first name isnt Tian has a Dang that is not said before the the child's name that they are called here in BCH3. This is because every Chinese person has two names they go by. Children from catholic orphanages, Tians, are only given one after their first name. Children from state orphangaes, Dangs, are given two individual names after Dang which they go by. So for example Kai Zhan's full name is Dang Zai Khan and Gui Zhi is Dang Gui Zhi(pronounced zhu). Tian Ci, Tian Hui and Tian Cheng all go by their full names.

On a different note Tian Cheng went back to the China Care Branch in Taiyuan because he is done receiving medical treatments in Beijing and has new orthotics and brace thanks to Lily funding his these and physical therapy.
