Today we passed our visa appointment with flying colors! That means there were no problems with our paperwork and we are now just waiting around for Teegan's visa. I'm sitting here in a dark room while Teegan naps and Tara explores Shamian Island and surroundings. Teegan's behavior has smoothed out a little today with fewer tantrums. We spent much of the day in the room while our guides presented our paperwork at the consulate. We had to be available in case there were questions but were free to roam about and search for lunch by 11:30.
At this point in the trip, I am always more than ready to return home. Not that I'm looking forward to 24 hours of flying and hanging out in airports with a cranky toddler. I miss my girls, my husband, my family, my friends, my house (especially my bed), my pets, my washing machine and dryer, fresh water, fresh air... And I'm very tired of Chinese food. I want to eat lettuce and tomatoes again without fear of dysentery. (So glad I'm done with that.)
I do love visiting China, learning about its people and customs and the history. Oh my gosh, the history, we just think we have history! But now it is time to get this boy home and begin his adjustment to us and our adjustment to him. I hope this part goes as smoothly as his adoption has. I can't wait to see him and his sisters interact. They each have such unique and strong personalities. What a trio they are going to make! Look out world!
