September 4th - Adoption Clinic (Back Blogging)

September 4th, Saturday, was the day we took Skylar to the adoption clinic. We rode the bus over to Shamian Island with the adoptive families in our group. At the clinic Skylar received a very rudimentary physical exam, and numerous vaccinations. He was a real trooper, and did not cry until the last shot was administered. After his shots were given the nurses gave him some candy. He is a very clever boy and once he realized there was candy involved he began going into each separate cubicle asking for candy. This boy cleaned up! Before we knew what he was up to he had two handfuls of candy, and was stashing it into his backpack. :)

There were a lot of very large, beautiful, old growth trees on Shamian Island.

After the immunizations we walked in the rain over to the White Swan Hotel. I really enjoyed Shamian Island. It is very lush, and green with lots of flowers, trees, and beautiful landscaping. There were a lot of park like areas. The climate was a lot like home, but even more humid. :(  

While at the White Swan we visited the famous red couches. We took some pictures of Skylar, DH and I. Faith was not in these photos as she was sound asleep in her stroller. She slept during the entire visit to the White Swan Hotel.

Skylar is still having temper tantrums, but they are becoming shorter in duration. He is still attached to DH, and not very receptive to Mommy, much to Mommy's dismay. I'm giving him lots of space and hoping in time he will realize how much this Mommy loves him.
