Great Day 2

Today we had a lot of improvement in the bonding process. She asked all four of to hold her at various times of the day. She also had her first temper tantrum. After breakfast we took her to the Swan Room to play. There were at least 15 other families come in during our 2 hours there. She started smiling more and more and we got a lot of laughs from her. She loved running and being chased. We came back to the room before we went to lunch and we had to change her clothes because a couple of buttons were missing. She did not want to get changed at all and started crying. When we finally got her changed the tantrum started. She tried to look for comfort from her jie jie's (older sisters). They left the room because they can't stand to hear her cry. I held her while she went through her tantrum. The tantrum started getting really bad so of course Judy knew what to do. Put her on the floor and ignore her. The tantrum was over in 3 minutes and we went to lunch. She let me carry her to lunch and even smiled at me in the deli. She is feeling a lot better today. Her temperature is back to normal but she has a lot of drainage. The medicine has helped her. The medicine we got at the clinic is very interesting. They gave us three different medicines to mix together and give her. One is liquid childrens Bufferin which is orange flavored. The second is called Ceclor which is a bubble gum flavored powder. the third one is the antibiotic which is very interesting. This is a Chinese medicine which looks and smells like Soy sauce (I am not joking). The three needed to be mixed together and given to her with an eye dropper. To our surprise she loved it which is good because it took 10 eye droppers full to get it in her. Her personality is really starting to come out today. Right now she is receiving rasberries on the belly from her jie jie's and is laughing uncontrollably. This afternoon we went back to the Civil Affairs office and received our official final adoption paper, so it is officially done with the Chinese government. We also went to the Guangzhou Police Station to turn in the paperwork for her Chinese passport. We receive her passport in 5 business days and then we finalize the U.S. part to get her U.S. citizenship. After dinner we went shopping again. The girls are getting into the bargaining part of Chinese shopping. I helped Kourtney get a silk blanket at 100 yuan when it was originally 120 yuan (that's $16 to $13.35) last night (see attached photo). Tonight she didn't like a price for a spoon and I told her to walk out of the store and see what happens. As soon as she walked to the doorway she got her price. I know this is long so I will attach the photos now.
