Guangzhou China
Shamian Island
Cami sat unsupported by herself today! She appears to be a bit developmentally delayed only in the area of movement. I believe that her foster mom carried her in a pack on her back most of the time and. She can't roll over from tummy to back or back to tummy. She can't sit up by herself. She can't pick up food with her fingers. Mentally she is very curious and seems to be very smart. She is a great immitator. She is very alert and very observant.
Today it is raining. A lot! John and Dalton left in the morning and dropped off the laundry, looked around White Swan and walked by a Catholic Church. John said it was packed and people were standing in the aisles! We later found out that there is a Christian Church down the street also. Wish we would have known that earlier so we could have gone to church.
After the guys got back we walked around Shamian Island a bit and then headed to Lucy's for lunch. Lucy's is quickly becoming our favorite place to eat. They have great Cheeseburgers and other American food! At Lucy's, we ran into the couple, Michael and Sherry, that we rode with from the airport to the hotel. The apparently have eaten all three meals everyday at Lucy's!
I forgot to mention that Dalton came down with Pink Eye the day we left for Guangzhou. Just one more example of God's Hand in this trip - when I mentioned that we were going to go to the medical doctor at the White Swan because of his eye, she told me that she always carried Pink Eye medication with her because her 4 boys get it so frequently and we could have the unopened bottle! Big praise!
While we were at lunch it started pouring rain and heavy winds. I had forgotten the deck of cards, so we played hangman until the rain let up. When the rained slowed down, we made a run for the hotel and got soaked on the way. We stopped at the 7-Eleven next to the hotel, picked up ice cream bars, and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening watching movies.
