Today was a completely different day. Oh I am not going to say its been perfect. When she woke up she cried for her foster mom. We got her settled down, and we went to the Civil affairs office. There we met one of the caregiver's from the orphanage. You could tell the caregiver really cared for Megan. We thought Megan would break down and cry when she saw her, but she stayed in my arms and didn't really care. That was a big breakthrough. We are officially her parents now. We promised to love her and never abandon or abuse her. That is a no brainer.:)
We went to a beautiful park today and walked around with her a little bit. People were not to happy but we stayed away from everyone but had to get her out. When we got back to the hotel she started to cry again. The other two couples are having the same issues. They want to be out and about. If they are locked inside to long they get feisty and start crying. Its hard on us since we are trying not to get to many people exposed by her.
We came back to the hotel and wow she all of a sudden came out. She is intelligent and into everything. I mean everything. Baby proofing in a hotel is a little difficult so our eyes are constantly on her. We got plenty of raspberries and lots of giggles. The only thing she doesn't like is the word no. Its hard we are trying not to say to much at this point, but there are a couple things she does. So redirection is our main goal. She loves to throw things which is not great. She thinks if hilarious. I don't want her doing that to Matthew and Victoria so we are trying to stop it.
She was very spoiled, and it is going to take some undoing. She is bonding very well with us. She even called Tom "baba", which is daddy in cantonese. She won't say mama yet, but she called her foster mom that so that is okey.
We are going to Walmart tomorrow. I can't wait to see what it is like. Have a good night.

Hey Wendy...
I was wondering. Do you think it might be especially hard for her to separate now, when she is not feeling well? I really don't know how miserable Chicken Pox can make a person feel. So I could just be reading too much into it. Plus, I've been so into this Manga about a family cursed by Zodiac Signs so this is probably where my thoughts are coming from. Oh and I totally agree, throwing is not good. Maybe she's testing her limits; still not good. Anyway, hope the redirection is working well. Change can be so hard.
