Just had the best moment with Rosie at naptime...she totally freaks out whenever we want to put her down in the crib. We think it reminds her of the orphanage. As I held her while she was in the crib, I kissed her face a few times, and then she turned her head and kissed me back. It was so unexpected...wow. Super sweet kid, I mean super sweet daughter!
Lia is seeing Rosie's struggles and has been stepping up to help. Things are slowly getting better.
Today we toured Guangdong Provincial Museum. Since we were there before, we just enjoyed each other's company. It was really neat to take photos in the same spot that we did when we adopted Lia. For dinner, we ate at a Thai restaurant called Banana Leaf. The dinner was great, and they had entertainment. It was hysterical to hear Chinese people singing a Chubby Checker song, wearing Mexican clothes. In a corny way, they were really good. Only in Guangzhou! The dancers encouraged kids to come up and dance with them. Of course, they came up to our table and sang, Day-O (maybe they could see that I'm getting anxious to go home). Rosie and Lia loved the music and dancing! All in all, we had a great day today. Tomorrow we are free until 5, since we have to prepare paperwork for the Consulate. There's less paperwork this time around, so it won't be too time consuming.
