Yesterday March 7, Sarah took her first plane ride to Guangzhou. She did so great! A cute little Asian girl came over to her as we were waiting to board our plane and she gave her a small stuffed elephant, her mom was trying to take her picture with Sarah so she gave her the animal and stood next to her and then ran back to her mom. Her mom wanted to take more pictures and told the girl to come back over and stand by us, the little girl was kind of shy and she would start to come over and then run back to her mom. She finally came back over for another picture, she was so cute. We then took a sucker over to her and they thought that was pretty cool.
Sarah played with the little elephant for a long time on the plane, she ate cheerios, played games with Todd and I and laughed and thought it was great. One flight down, yeah!
We arrived at the beautiful city of Guangzhou and the famous White Swan Hotel. WOW!
It is really, really, really nice. Very fun to see all the different families with their children. Today we pretty much spent the day shopping, we had Ann from Ann of Red Thread China take us shopping and it was really fun, then we came back and had lunch at Lucy's, a restaurant that is pretty Americanized and then we shopped at Jordans Place where we bought Sarah her first soft little doll, it is suppose to be a little Asian doll, it is dressed in a little red outfit and has a braid on each side of its head, they were done up in pony tails but that didn't last long, one side is now down in just a braid, it is just yarn and she has been dragging it around by that one braid, she was all smiles when she got the doll. I imagine it will be minus both braids before we get it home.
We went for a group dinner tonight, it was Thai food, not so much a fan.
Tomorrow we take Sarah for her medical exam, doesn't that sound like lots of fun?
And then more shopping, she is learning to be a great shopper.
She also has learned a few more things, some good and some not so good. She is just a little spoiled and when she doesn't get her way she starts to fake cry and throws herself on the ground. Oh boy! Need to change that behavior quick. :)
She loves to hang out with me, Todd and Chelsea get to hold her sometimes but mostly me, I carried her all through the markets today for about 2 1/2 hours and then we bought a stroller. She has kind of learned to give kisses, she will lean over and just put her head real close with her mouth touching your face. So cute. She likes to play a game where we surprise each other. She was in her crib last night and I was taking things out of the suitcase and I kept acting surpised she was there and she would just laugh so hard she would fall over in her crib.She is so good! She does struggle at night, she seems to have night terrors and will still be asleep but will cry and thrash around and sometimes I just pat her on the back and other times I have to take her out of her crib and hold her and pat her back but she never wakes up. Poor little thing.She is just amazing and I am not sure how we got such a wonderful little girl but boy am I glad she is ours.
