A rough night and bonding with daddy


Well they warned us the nights were bad. Last night was really bad. She cried and screamed for an hour and a half. Megan actually got all of her stuff she had from the orphanage(one little bag), put her shoes on, and kept leading us to the door saying something in Cantonese. I think it was take me home to mama. At least that was the jist. There was nothing we could do. It was actually kind of horrible to feel so helpless. She finally hid behind the curtain with her little bag and cried herself to sleep. We got her in bed and slept til about 2. She woke up crying and wanting nothing to do with me. So now she is velcro baby with Tom. She won't let him go or get out of her sight.

Today she has been really good. Won't let me near her but she loved going to Walmart. Her foster mom spoiled her when she wanted something she got it. We were a little scared taking her into walmart but she didn't want anything except for some weird cracker things. Probably the equivalent to goldfish in America for kids. Walmart was not as cheap as we thought it would be. It was still very interesting.We got her a couple of outfits since I brought a lot of 3t and she really wears 2t stuff. I brought some dresses but we already got scolded for having her legs not fully covered so we got a few more long sleeve tops I think I have enough bottoms.

After Walmart we went to Mcdonald's. Megan had her first chicken nuggets. She seemed to really like them. Tom and I have been living off a lot of power bars here. The food around our hotel is a little sparse.

That has been our day so far. Megan is going down for a nap and then we will probably go to the park later today. Hope all of you are having a great day.

Keep strong. It's heartbreaking, but everything will be fine. *hugz*

I believe that the good has to come with the bad, but God won't give you something you can't handle.
