Clinic Day and the Zoo

Sweet smile!

It's Monday night here. We had clinic day today, each child was seen by general dr, ENT and wt and size taken by nurse. Then they drew labs for TB test. That was so
traumatic! They whisked the kids away and the parents waited outside. My AnnaBelle
was very scared when she came out. Our group went on a water boat cruise tonight and
had dinner. It was nice. The food was interesting but the ride was beautiful! 
AnnaBelle is busy playing and babbling beside me. Babble in Chinese is so funny to
listen to. Very sweet. She was so busy today. At lunch she dumped her bowl of rice
when she was finished. She has shown more independence and wanted down to walk more.
She has the sweetest giggle ever. 
Guangzhou has 17 million people here. It's closer to the coast so it's humid and
rainy. A very pretty city and much cleaner. I am counting down the days to leave for
home. I cannot wait to see my Joy girl and be home with both girls. AnnaBelle has
such a sweet disposition. When she plays she lines things up then moves them and
lines them back up. She is still sleeping with me which is interesting and will have
to be dealt with at home. For now we are snuggling. I bet she has never been
snuggled so much, if ever! It's bath and bedtime. 
The kids in our group are feeling better. Several have been sick. AnnaBelle was sick
first and others had different sickness. Goodnight from the noodle and sticky rice
nation. And millions of people. You cannot imagine the traffic and people.
