Half way there!!!

Yesterday we finalized Li's adoption on the China side!! The most interesting part of the paperwork process was that after signing a document, Chris and I had to put our fingerprint over the signature with this red ink that is tough to get off. We also got Li's Chinese passport!! 



Later in the afternoon our guide took us to see Li's "finding spot". It was labeled as a college dormitory, but Chris and I thought otherwise.  This is the building complete with R2D2 like mushroom themed playground:


Li continues to fit in very well with the Dinkel clan! Today he said shoe and tree. We went on a quick walk by the river and all Li wanted to do was run in the grass and touch the trees... Just wait till he gets to Tennessee!! Our walk was cut shirt because Ava, the celebrity, was tired of taking photos with strangers. Can't say I blame her there! 

So what do you do in a hotel room with two bored kids?? TP the room of course!!  They had a blast right up to the point that Ava was accidentally bonked in the nose. She was pretty mad about that and immediately demanded that we take him back:) we worked through it and she likes him again... But it was tough because she was expecting an apology and I don't think Li had any clue what was happening. 





Today we fly to Guangzhou, which is where the US consulate is located. The Chinese Labor Day holiday is starting, so we are doing lots of tourist stuff once we arrive. 



Ava and I are really getting sick of the lack of food options- but luckily the Westin has already told me that they special ordered some gluten free products for us. 

Li, on the other hand, has been eating nonstop. He loves veggies (especially tomatoes!! Isn't that great Doris!!!) One funny tidbit- every time we sit at the table to eat- Li insists on kicking off his shoes:) guess he wants to be comfy!
