On to Guangzhou
Molly is a happy giggly angel! We love listening to her speak to our guides. They always seem to have a good laugh with her and then say to us how happy she is! Right now she is watching Cinderella in chinese...one of the MANY personal possessions she came to us with. :)
Molly loved her first plane ride and did fantastic. We gate checked her chair but when we got off they had checked it through for us so Bill carried her all the way to baggage. Thank goodness for moving walkways and daddy's!
Today we went to her medical appt and visa photo and then shopped on the island. She did awesome at the medical exam, I think the Dr. was a little miffed and called in a second Dr. to look at her. The nurse was wonderful with her. We now just need to go back for the TB reading.
After the medical we walked through the parks and shopped. We told Molly she could pick one thing (as long as the price was right :)) Of all the fun stuff in Guangzhou she chose a musical toy...see photo. Bill was so happy with this purchase...insert sarcasm :)
We then returned to the hotel for lunch...this girl can eat. Braised beef, snap peas, noodles, salmon, watermelon, grapes, mango pudding, and coconut juice. We then went to the hotel park and she wanted to go down the slide. Uhhhh? Really? Well, she did it with some daddy help! We looked at the pool but she was not ready today. We had our guide tell her about our pool in the summer, she liked the part about the snacks and ice cream, not so much the swimming part.
Just as a side note: Molly is reading the Bible in it's entirety. She is in the book of Jeremiah. How neat to know that she has already read Isaiah, the book that played a huge part in leading us down the path of adoption and to her! We know that this path God has chosen for us may be hard at times but this happy girl has already lessened the load just by knowing her in these few short days. She is a ray of sunshine!
