Well friends, June 28 was kind of an up and down sort of day. We had some difficult periods of grieving, but also some very fun moments. We gave ourselves alot more time for breakfast and that was a lot better. It's tricky getting Althea AND mommy AND daddy all fed in a hurry. Our big expedition for the day was to Wal-Mart! Yes it's true. (And no, the Wal-Mart in China is not full of things made in the US.) Wal-Mart in China has some seriously funky Chinese fruit. The selection is a wee bit different at this Wal-Mart. True to her report, Althea does like shopping. She really enjoys looking at things and people. The difficult part was that she wanted everything NOW--not quite up to the concept that we needed to purchase things before she could dive into them.
We spent much of the afternoon hanging out at the hotel. We decided to see if there was anything interesting on the tube. Chinese TV is...well...kind of different. We were amazed when Althea made a lunging grab for the remote and wrestled it away from daddy! Did we mention she is incredibly strong? Things are going a bit better on the bonding front. She still isn't happy if I hold her, but she's interacting with me a lot more. She still has a cold--please pray for that to clear up.Love to all of you, Dawn
