We got our papers for the children last night, including her Chinese Passport, a copy of the finding ad, and a copy of the piece of paper that was found with her that simply states her date of birth. We have copies of the Registration and a bunch of other papers including receipts, and the original document inviting us to travel to China to adopt Huang Fu Dong.
We have had 2 dinners at the Shang Palace here at the Shangri-la and they were both excellent, and reasonably priced even though more expensive than some of the local restaurants, the service and ambience were excellent - much better than at the other local restaurants. We are eating very well. And lunch is followed by a nap - if we can get her to sleep!
Wenguo and I found a good local laundromat and we got some clothes washed cheap. Socks are free, children's clothes are discounted, and Wenguo got a group discount because we brought a couple of families with their clothes with us.
Everything seems to be going well - she screamed last night for an hour and a half after dinner when we were trying to put her to bed. I could not console her - Wenguo finally told her in Chinese to stop crying and she did! Just a few minutes after that she fell asleep. We think she might have some pain from teething so Wenguo gave her some teething tablets. She woke up a couple of times in the night but Wenguo was able to get her to go back to sleep. We've decided to keep her anyway! I wish I could talk to her in Chinese.
She screamed through her bath this morning but seems to be much better about it. I think she'll get used to it soon.
She was a little cranky at breakfast but she's sitting beside me in her stroller (she just loves her stroller!) and being very good and patient while I write.
I have more pictures of her and some with smiles! I'll try to get some up now but we need to pack and get ready to get our flight to Guangzhou.

So she smiled, giggled, stood by herself, walked by herself and now she's adapting to bath. Let's see what more ahead of us about her...
It sounds like things are going very well--from paperwork and sleeping to clothes washing and improved bath time. How perfect that Wenguo can tell her to stop crying, and it works! Perhaps she can give a quick language lesson to some of us who might need that trick. Hope your next travels are safe and fairly easy.
She is a keeper! Seems everything is on track. More pictures please. Love to see her doing all kinds of different things.
Luckily you probably won't hear that kind of screaming again once you're back until she's 2. Oh, I guess that's right around the corner. Glad to hear she can express herself and then listen to her mommy. Also so happy she's patient while daddy types because we are all so anxious to hear about her each and every day.
