In China
All Days  |  Previous Day  |  Next Day

Tuesday, January 15, 2013 We were all up early this morning. We had to be ready for the notary appointment at 9:00am. Everything is signed and stamped, so Caitlin is officially ours. After the notary appointment, we went shopping at Trustmart, the Asian version of Walmart. Even saw many of the Walmart Great Value brands. We stocked up on bottled water, chinese crackers, some candy, and fast noodles. We bought several BIG containers of water, and now that we have them back at the hotel room, we can't get them open. Where is a strong man when you need one? I guess i will have to call the front desk in the morning, and see if someone can help me open one. We had a quiet afternoon, with the big girls trying to do some homework, and Caitlin showing us her skills. She can print the ABC's in both upper and lower case. She wrote her numbers up to 20. She was also playing some sort of math game on the Kindle, and doing "simple algebra" and getting the correct answers. She seems very bright. We walked in the Garden, fed the fish and chatted with some other adoptive families. We have seen many adoptive families, but of course, nothing like it was "in the day" when I was here in 2002 and 2004. Some of the honeymoon phase is wearing off. Camille was very irritated with Caitlin this afternoon. I think she is tired of sharing, or just need a little more attention. Also, Camille wasn't feeling well this evening, so we ordered room service. Our itinerary has been changed a bit, and tomorrow afternoon we are doing the medical exam.
