Rocky start, Great finish

Jayne slept the night in her own bed...YAHOO!  She had previously been sleeping with her foster mom and then with ma ma and ba ba in the only bed in our room in Nanchang.

Unfortunately, despite this milestone, Jayne woke up a little off again today...not eating and wishing the new "aunties" of our group would solely pay attention to her and not the other 9 families and their children!  Jayne disliked ba ba all morning, tolerated ma ma off and on and was just wishing anyone who speaks mandarin would be her friend...poor sweet pea.
 
In the rain, we toured the Buddhist Temple and then the Old Chen House...Jayne was not impressed with either.  And ba ba and ma ma decided the 90 plus degree sticky heat for these tours with Brynn's adoption was more pleasant than the cold rain today!

 
On the bus ride from the temple to the Chen House, Jayne announced that she needed to go to the bathroom.  "Just a minute, Just a minute" ma ma said...we rushed off the bus, and Jayne instantly pulled down her pants to relieve herself! "No, no, no!" ma ma said while pulling Jayne's pants back UP...ma ma running, Jayne running and continuing to pull down her pants...ma ma sprinting, Jayne sprinting and pulling down her pants...ma ma setting a world record while carrying a 5 year old child yelling that she needed to go to the bathroom a good 800 meter dash, and we FINALLY found the bathroom in the farthest corner of the Old Chen House...ahhhhhhhhhh!
 
Last stop of the outing, the Guangdong art and craft shopping center.  Jayne and ba ba played with all of the other kids with the stash of toys Jayne brought along, and her frown turned upside down into a smile from that point on!  Jayne and ba ba played, and ma ma bought a jade necklace for Jayne's wedding day and a dress for her baptism...success!
 
This afternoon ma ma wrapped up our 9 month paper chase...the last day of paperwork should be a celebration, right??!!** But I always leave thinking, "Huh, months and months of paperwork, waiting for paperwork, tracking paperwork, notarizing paperwork, following checklists to complete paperwork...and POOF it is over!"  Shouldn't I celebrate...what am I worried I am going to be bored now that I don't have paperwork to do...Ha!  I have at least 5 reasons to think I won't miss the paperwork!
 
While ma ma did paperwork, ba ba and Jayne napped together, played soccer, did piggyback rides and just had fun horsing around!!
 
For supper, ma ma and ba ba wanted to have Papa John's pizza and Jayne is not the hugest fan of pizza so we got her some noodles...included is a picture of the VERY IMPRESSIVE Jayne noodle slurp (I wish I could include the audio with this SSssssslllllluUUUrrrRRRRPPPPpppppp cuz it is quite something)!  In between slurps, Jayne dances and poses...she really is a HOOT!
 
PS boys: Jayne picked and ate a pickled chicken leg for breakfast!  Better google how to make those!   Also, do we know anybody WITH chickens for sale???
