Jayne was 5 going on 14 today. She loved ma ma and ba ba when no one else was around, but when Grace or Maggie (our reps) or Sandra (the 9 year old girl being adopted) were around, Jayne pretended she did not know ma ma and ba ba!
The pictures from the zoo obviously confirm this (and we have about 25 more of the same look)!
So ba ba and ma ma considered their walk around the zoo, enjoying the elephants, rhinos, hippos, tigers, monkeys and pandas WITHOUT our child as a date...why not!
After the zoo, we had a quick lunch before going back to the clinic to get Jayne's PPD read, we were 1 mm away from needing the chest xray! Ba ba was so nervous that Jayne's reaction to the tuberculin would lead to a chest xray which would lead to a need to extend his "vacation" 6 months while Jayne received treatment that he could not even watch the PPD being read. I don't know what ba ba was worried about, I told him me and the other kids would send him care packages often and we would wire him some money to make it through. We can joke now that Jayne's reaction was 9 mm instead of 10 mm :)
After the clinic visit, we bought a couple more dvd's in mandarin, and for the first time today in Grace's presence Jayne acknowledged that we existed! Grace asked Jayne in mandarin if she knew who Shrek was. Jayne said, "It's mine!" So even Grace got a taste of the teenage Jayne!
Our teenager is now splashing in the tub like a 5 year old, and her teenager like performance today has signed her up for an early bedtime...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
PS: Happy, Happy birthday Auntie Sarah!
