We meet the guide in about 2 hours. And then head to the civil affairs building around 2:30, so by the time you wake up, we will be a family of four. There may not be so much blogging after that. I'm truthfully not sure what will happen.
We should be out shopping right now. We wanted to, but got lost in the tunnels under the street and since Zoe is insisting on being carried, we just cant make it far. If we were home, I would drag her walking, or shove her screaming in the stroller, but here....well, people are already staring and I think they think we just adopted her. I don't want people on the street thinking I'm taking a Chinese child and then treating her badly. So we carry....Oh Lordy, we carry. Old ladies on the street stop us, point at Zoe and then point at the ground, as if to tell us to make her walk. I did put her down in front of one, and sure enough Zoe was mighty confused by all the commotion and started to fall to the ground. I just can't put her through much more, because we are asking so much of her already. She will ride in the stroller, but screams and thrashes for about the first 3 minutes. We usually try to get that over with while we aren't being watched, but you can't go far because there are so many stairs. My great hope is that she will see her brother walking and follow him. She is fascinated by other kids.
Here's some pictures:
