New Names

In China, the meaning of your name is what's most important.
 

Ayi's daughter is named Yuan-Yuan. (You-an You-an)
Which I loosely translated into English as "Circle-Circle". 
(Ayi thinks my translation is hilarious, and will call her daughter "Circle-Circle" when she talks about her to me.) 
Obviously, Yuan means more than 'circle', and I'm sure a better translation would be 'continuously' or 'going on forever'.

 

When Ayi gave JR his Chinese name it was a huge deal. 
Many people were consulted (including Jason's entire Chinese office staff and everyone in the neighborhood). 
It was finally decided that JR's Chinese name would be Wang Zi (W-an Zuh).
 

Which means...Wait for it...

"Handsome Prince".

(It's okay, you can totally roll your eyes.)

 

I told Ayi she could give Kyle and Reed Chinese names, and it didn't take her long to come up with:

Da Zhuang (Da Drawn)

and

Xiao Zhuang (Shou Drawn)

 

Which means "Big Strong Guy" and "Little Strong Guy"

(Kyle gets to be 'big' since he's a minute older.)

So here they are

Da Zhuang, Wang Zi, and Xiao Zhuang

 

The bluest-eyed Chinese you'll ever see.
