We started out the day Skyping with family and then headed down to the hotel breakfast buffet. It is awesome. Our new favorite fruit is called dragonfruit. The inside looks like white kiwi and tastes similar but not as strong. We met our guide David and headed back to the Civil Affairs office to make this adoption official. While there Evan started getting jealous because she felt left out. She stays right on top of Sydney, so Sydney sometimes pushes her away or cries. Evan feels like Sydney doesn’t like her. She was fine by the time we left the building, though.
Our next stop was the supermarket to get a stroller, diapers and snacks. Since we aren’t able to stick around the hotel all the time, we’ve decided to keep Sydney in diapers and complete her potty training when we get home. She stayed dry last night after drinking quite a bit of water laced with Miralax. We elected to buy sour cream and onion Pringles instead of the tomato, BBQ chicken, shrimp or seaweed ones. Evan found a treat – chicken feet! At least they were packaged!
We ate lunch with our awesome guide at a local restaurant and had some great dishes. I think we ordered 7 dishes for less than $26. That’s a far cry from our $130 buffet dinner last night or our $145 laundry bill!! We walked back to the hotel and let Sydney ride in her stroller. She must like all the bumps on the sidewalk because she was all smiles the whole time.
She relaxed a little more around us today and is becoming a little more expressive. Hopefully she will really open up within the next few days.
