I was so tired yesterday, I couldn't even figure out what to
say. And I even forgot the Quote of the day!!!
Today, we woke up early as we had to be out the door at 8:30am
to go get her pictures and then go over to the medical place.
Elena finally ate something for breakfast. Her *grandmother*
wrote she pretty much only ate congee for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. She doesn't. At least not for us. We have yet to get a
spoonful into her. But this morning she ate 4 mini muffins!
Which is the most she has eaten since Tuesday, when she ate 2
slices of pizza.
And she has discovered granolas. John was eating one and of
course, she needs to do everything he does. She seems to be a
picky eater. Yikes! That will probably change when we get home.
Slowly but surely.
At her medical examination, she was approved. Of course except
for her walking. The chinese doctor thinks one leg is slightly
smaller then the other too!! But that won't keep her here. She
also got 6 shots. 6 SHOTS!!! Who does that? And you want to hear
something amazing? She didn't cry. Well, that's not true. She
cried when they tried to lift her pant leg up, she didn't like
that at all. But when they were shooting needles into her, she
just stared off into space, just accepting it.
When we first got her medicals, it said in her reports that she
had months of acupuncture. I don't know what that does but I
know it involves needles. In her report it said at first she
would cry and flip out, but she eventually accepted it.
Sheesh.
And can I say, she LOVES LOVES LOVES being pushed on her
stroller. She will go sit in it and call her daddy and point to
the back to show him where to go. It is comical. We had to hide
it in the closet or she won't get out of it.
We also went window shopping down the street. We didn't buy
anything, which someone should pat us on the back, because these
ladies are ruthless, pressuring for us to buy something. I
figure we have all week. No rush.
John is slightly annoyed at the fact that there is no coffee to
be found anywhere. We found the Starbucks, which is the only
place on the island that seems to sell it. When you come from a
place, that if you are desperate enough, just pull into the gas
station for coffee because it is sold everywhere, and you show
up here, where it is all about tea...
Exactly.
Tomorrow we are going to a church that has service in English.
I miss church.
I miss home.
But she is worth being here. |

Skipping down the street with daddy.
Walking down the scary hallway. But only scary for the parents.
Making daddy push her around the room.
