Day 12-Beijing

Today was medical day for all the kids. Channing did great at the medical. She got a thumbs up from the doctor and is able to come home to Canada. The doctor said she was extremely healthy, just a little off on her weight as per the charts. I think she looks great just the way she is. The medicals took 3 hours.....so it was a little crazy in the waiting room with 12 kids. Channing actually played with the other kids for the first time.......she has a new pal, they laughed and giggled for a long time. Actually right before they started playing Channing pinched her and had to have a time out for a minute.
After the medicals we had lunch and headed to the Pearl Market. WOW.......talk about overwhelming!!! I actually didnt enjoy my time there. Some of the workers would grab your arm and try and pull you in to buy stuff. I found it a little scary!!!
Tonight we went to the Chinese Acrobats.........OK.........I loved that!!! Channing liked it too, but was getting tired near the end. She was very popular there with some tourists from Spain. They took her picture, gave her popcorn, hugs and kisses. She didnt mind any of it at all!!!!
As far as Channing is adjusting.......she has blossomed so much in the last few days. She woke up today with very few tears. She is calling me Mama more and more, is actually talking to me (mostly in Chinese) a lot more and we actually had a good play in the room with lots of giggles. She didnt really want much to do with Grandma and Grandpa today, but that is OK. She did want Yulin later in the day, which I think was mostly because she was tired. I cannot belive it has been a week already since I got her. I just love her to death and cannot wait to bring her home so you can all meet her.
Well tomorrow is the Great Wall and Jade Factory day.......so I'm off to pack for that and then off to bed!!! Not many pictures of today, but a few!!!

So happy to hear that Channing is feeling more comfortable. It's only going to get better! I can't believe how much stuff they pack into one day in China...it just sounds exhausting.

Love the photos and so glad you got a 'brown eye girl tee!' It's perfect for Channing!

Attachment is a long process with lots of bonding moments strung together. Glad to know Channing is coming around to you more and more. It is amazing how a child so small can cause so much pain in an adult who loves her so much. Glenys didn't want to have anything at all to do with me and my mother but loved my father while in China. I understand where you are. She is beautiful. You guys have time to learn and attach to each other.
