Hi to All,
We had a great last night in Hangzhou. We walked down by west lake. It was a bit cooler so there was lots of people outside walking. Poor Ami was getting bitten by bugs. The bits swelled quite large, I am glad we brought lots of antihistamine for her.
We were unable to pick up Zhi's passport despite several visits to the passport office. So our guide will be picking it up on Monday and sending it by courier to us in Beijing. We hope its ready then. At least we were still able to fly back to Beijing. Hangzhou is beautiful but Beijing is much easier to get around.
Before we left we had our guide negotiate an underwear treaty with Zhi. He really wanted to only wear the ones he has on but he would allow us to wash them. A good start. We got on the plane and about 30 min later poor Zhi puked, a lot!! Brian was sitting with him and it was everywhere. Thankfully I had some Gravol in my bag. He needed his clothes changed so we decided to do it quickly in the aisle as Zhi was quite upset about the puke on his clothes even though we were going through some turbulance. We changed his shorts then he began to talk quickly in Mandarin and took both his shorts and underwear off and handed his underwear to me. Gotta love him. I washed them last night and they are back on today. We did manage to get him to put on some new clothes today. He will not go into the bath or shower but will allow me to sponge bath him. Tonight he sat on the side of the tub and put his feet in. The orphanage said he showered everyday so baby steps are good.
Zhi is very sweet, he shook hands with the doorman when we left our hotel in Hangzhou. He will speak with others but is a bit shy with strangers. Brian is still small dog, occasionally big dog. We are happy to be back in Beijing. It is cooler here. Today we completed yet again more paperwork. We also went to the Summer Palace. It was really really crowded. Zhi is doing really really well. He loves the DS. He loves Brian and his magic tricks. The kids were running around the room today playing duck, duck , goose, Zhi mostly ran around tapping the girls heads and making them laugh. We are in a big suite at The Presidential now that we are a family of 5!!. Tomorrow we are off to the Great Wall!!
