Yesterday afternoon we had another storm so we had to stay in the room and we were able to spend time getting to know each other. I had purchased an Adoption Travel Chinese book through my agency's store and it came in handy yesterday as I laid on the bed with Jin Qing, and Jerry sat by, we went through various foods so she could tell us if she liked them or not. She also tried to teach us how to say some of the Chinese words and phrases. It was a lot of fun and really helped her to get more comfortable with us. She also spent time doing Jadyn's hair; her first official ponytail! She looked so cute:)
Then, we ordered in dinner and the girls watched Tinker Bell on the computer. All three of them loved the movie! It was adorable to watch them sit around the screen and giggle at funny parts of the movie. I am not sure how much Lauren and Jin Qing understand as far as the language, but they certainly understand the story line:)
Before bed Jin Qing asked to take a shower and then she washed her clothes in the sink. I certainly would have preferred to have done her laundry for her, but she didn't let me know that she was even doing this. She had them hanging to dry this morning when I awoke. She is such a sweet girl and so well-mannered! Truly a gift!!!
Today, we will take a walk around the city and then meet Grace at 3:00 to go and apply for Jin Qing's passport. Then, we will grab a bite to eat on the way back to the hotel and we'll see if they want to head out for another walk tonight or catch another movie:)
Tomorrow is a free day and we'll probably head over to the island for some sightseeing and shopping.

I just love how happy everyone is! I am so happy for you and excited that maybe we can all meet someday, especially now that I know you are less than 2 hours from me! :) It will be nice to know our daughter will have someone that close by from the same province as her. Enjoy the rest of your time and thanks for letting us tag along. Safe travels home and blessings for smooth flights and transitions home.
Hi Brooke! It is incredible that we live less than two hours away and have daughters from the same province! Especially, since Fujian does not do that many adoptions in a year:) Thank you for the thoughts and well wishes! I am excited to get home:)
