Good Morning from Guangzhou! May I just say that Mika is becoming a Daddy's girl?!! It is so cute to see her follow Rich around and snuggle with him! Usually when he shuts the door to the bathroom or leaves our hotel room there's a moment of crying. I, of course, love seeing this as I have a Mommy's girl at home. (tee hee!) Right now Mika is pounding on the bathroom door while Rich takes a shower - hilarious!
We're learning that although Mika is very shy in groups, she loves interacting with people one on one. Gosh, she sounds like me! Anyhoo, it's been fun seeing her get involved a little with other people and just being carefree. A welcome change from our first few days with her where crying was the norm.
The pictures I posted are from our sightseeing day and there's one of us eating at a Chinese restaurant- the waiters were amazed at how she shoved in the noodles! This girl can put away the food. We call her our little sumo wrestler...notice the pictures of her in her diaper! We never thought we'd see a chubby Chinese girl, but we've got her. Adorable!
In about 5 minutes we're taking a photo with all 12 families and then we're having a time of prayer for our girls - specifically we'll be praying for their attachment issues, and just praying God's protection on them. Feel free to join us in praying for Mika and all the girls and boys that have been adopted on this trip....however God leads you.
Later on this afternoon we'll go to our Consulate where Mika will be sworn in as a US citizen - they do this as a group. We're not allowed to take pictures so you'll have to imagine that scene in your mind. I'll write more later!
