Yesterday was Sarah's medical exam, we walked the short distance to the clinic. First stop was to get pictures of Sarah and then on to see the Drs. Once we got to the clinic there were three different stations, first she was weighed and measured, next they looked in her ears and took a toy and made sounds with it on each side of her head to check her hearing, they tried to look down her throat but there was no way she was going to open her mouth. Next station the Dr. checked her over, she didn't like it when he took off her socks and shoes and she started to cry, but the exam was over very quickly and she was all smiles.
On the way to the exam we passed a group of little children that were going on a field trip for school, they were so cute, they were all hanging on to a rope so they would stay together and when they saw us they called out, "hello good morning" in English and they were just the cutest little group of kids!
The White Swan is located on Shamian Island and it is very pretty, big trees that look very old line the walkways and the harbor is so beautiful especially at night when things are all lit up. It is really fun to stroll along and look through all the shops. There are lots of statues around the area her and they are really pretty.
You still have to be careful of cars, motorcycles and bicycles as they don't stop for pedestrians, but it is much better then in the large city.
In the afternoon was the famous red couch photo where the babies in the group are all placed on a red couch together for group and individual photos, many of the children are dressed in traditional clothing for the photos and it is pretty interesting trying to get pictures of the children together. We dressed Sarah in a pretty blue dress and she is also wearing her new pearl braclet. She loved to put on her new dress.
