This morning he woke up similar as yesterday but a bit better (a little in shock, sad, but warmed up fairly quickly). We then went to breakfast where he had a little too much fun with the congee but found out he loves pork sausage.
We then went with our escort to a local main attraction (Lin Zexu's memorial), then shopping in an incredible shopping area, and ended at a baby store where many locals gathered around and helped us shop for sweet boy - we got him a stroller, new shoes, a couple outfits, etc). He loves his stroller, and keeps getting in it in the hotel room and asking to be pushed.
This morning we saw the couple (form Italy) who was also adopting and staying at our hotel, and they didn't have their child with them, so we asked our escort and she said they terminated the adoption..:-( It was awkward because they were watching us eat breakfast..
This sweet boy has some spunk, and can throw a ball - I think we may have a future ball player on our hands!! I'll upload videos as soon as I can.
He's already picked up a few words, which is amazing considering he only apparently knew 2 words when his file was written, which led to the doctor reviewing his file that he had a significant language delay, so I think this is a good sign.
He also lets me console him when he's upset, which I count a blessing.
So tomorrow morning we're going to his orphanage via a bullet train with our escort, so please pray William does well through the visit.
We did find out his best friend from the orphanage is being adopted next month!! And they're a Holt family as well, so we hope to get in contact with them. :-) We have a picture of him and his bestfriend in a photo album his orphanage director gave us when we got him!
Lastnight we went to the pool and watched Baba and the kids swim while we sat by the pool. He watched very closely, and was intrigued enough to walk up to the pool and splash his feet just a lil bit. We're going again here in a bit to see if this time we can get his legs in. :-)
First breakfast in the hotel! He ate two full bowls of congee
Finalizing his adoption in the Civil Affairs office -- I'm a hot mess covered in sweat/urine..but that's alright.
Copying big brother and trying to blow up a balloon (don't worry - we're very careful and watchful with the balloons)
