Aquarium
Although she seems to like me holding her and playing with her, she didn't want anyone but Doug when it came to bed time. She wouldn't let me hold her at all and screamed for Doug. I understand and I am guessing I remind her of her nannies at the orphanage, but it still was a bit heartbreaking.
Today she was back to liking me. We ended up going to the aquarium after going back and forth as to whether or not it was worth a cab ride through the city (cab rides through zhengzhou are definitely white knuckle experiences). But, we had a great day and are so glad we went. Watching Nina see things for the very first time is awesome!
Back at the hotel we have had so much fun playing. She has given us so many kisses! She also seems to be more relaxed with her food. She has offered us bites and will set her cookies down while drinking juice. Before, she would hold everything at the same time for fear we would take something away from her. Hopefully, she is learning she will never have to go hungry with us.
We are just waiting for a call that our paperwork is back from the notary. Then, we will pick it up and get some dinner. Although Nina would rather have noodles again, Daddy wants Italian again tonight.
PS - I appreciate all the emails, but I wanted to mention I am unable to reply to emails right now. They keep getting timed out. I will try to reply again when we arrive in Guangzhou this weekend.
