Tuesday Stuff

He slept well last night, but had a blow out. It was so bad we had to call housekeeping at 4:30 this morning. Yeah, they were thrilled to help us with the ordeal. Greg tipped her well, but how well can you really tip someone to come clean up poo at 4:30 in the morning? I'm pretty sure any amount would not be appropriate. However! A positive came from this... He now realizes he likes to take a bath.

We went to the Civil Affairs office and signed a bunch of paperwork. They asked us questions of why we were adopting from China, did we know he has medical conditions, and would we ever abandon him. I'm always so surprised to have these questions asked. I mean, he is my son.

MY SON. And I am already Mama Bear about him. One of the directors grabbed him up and started walking around the building with him. I followed her everywhere, watching her every move. I had to keep telling myself to stay calm. And finally, (I'm sure God had something to do with it) she placed him down and he ran to me. It was the greatest relief! Then she fussed at me because he did not have enough clothes on. That is pretty standard here though so I didn't take it to heart. I got that a lot with HG. SH's province was hot, so no one cared if she wore shorts.

We did go buy some clothes today. A blue and red jacket with a dragon on it. Definitely masculine! (Unlike the 'delivery' outfit) 4T's are so big they keep falling off of him.

I cannot wait for everyone to meet Charlie! They called him "Ji-Ji" - sounds like G-G. He answers to it and we can say it, so we are not pushing the "Charlie". We say it frequently, but he is not responding to it yet.
