our sweet potato.

tonight we celebrated jacob's birthday.  it's not until next weekend, but we live pretty packed schedule's these days and this was our only night to go out together.  so after dinner we went to dairy queen...and sat on our phones...not playing candy crush (confession. i play it. judging may commence now. it's a hidden secret of mine)...no we were wiki-pedia-ing anything we could find on taiwan.

i want to know the culture. i want to know who they're at odds with.  i want to know that their main language is mandarin chinese.  i want to know what country likes which other country. what your little island is like...and in doing so...i have your nick name already.

"taiwan is shaped like a sweet potato," read one article, "and for that reason, many taiwanese, refer to themselves as 'children of the sweet potato'." so.  as our child makes it's way further into our heart...he/she already has a nick name.

our little sweet potato.
