Day 6 - AIT Went Well.....


It has been crazy - this kid has been keeping us busy!!! Today we woke up and had breakfast in the hotel. Billi has a really good appetite and ate rice porridge, eggs, bacon, ham and fruit - she does not, however, have much experience in restuarants and so it was a very interesting meal of her running around and us chasing her. She does not want to let any of us out of her sight, so it gets a bit challenging when one of us needs to do something. We then headed out for AIT appointment. It went smoothly, but took a while, so we were getting many stares while both the kids ran around the office. Billi has a bit of a raspy voice and she is not afraid to use it loudly, so its pretty funny in public places. After AIT, we decided to ditch our plans for the zoo because we were exhausted and we hung out at the park with the kids and let them play a for a long time, it was just what we all needed. Billi took a much needed nap on the way back and we've been in our room ever since just hanging out. Chad has been great taking both the kids out individually, so they both get BaBa and MaMa time. Chad also got Billi some Mandarin dvd's to watch on the laptop, but most of the time she would rather run around with her brother. Ashton is such a trooper - he loves his new little sister. Billi sometimes will pull and grab things away from him - I think this is due to not really having many things to call her own, not sure of this, but it has been challenging for him to understand this. Right now they are running around the room making all kinds of noise and we just don't even care about the neighbors any more! Tomorrow we pick up her passport at AIT and then will go to the zoo after that. Bye for now!
