We met Miss TianTian yesterday.  We got to the office where we were going to meet our daughter and waited for a bit.  (She got stuck in traffic.) We were all so excited and nervous.  I think Quincy was literally bouncing off the walls at one point.
 
Then she walked in, looked around, and was told we were her mama and baba.  She glanced at us truly couldn't have cared less... Then Quincy came up to her and she got very excited to see her Wu XinYan again. We gave her a wheelie backpack with a few toys in it, and she was very excited about the wheels on the backpack.  Didn't really care about the toys... She and Quincy walked back and forth around the room, from the window to the telephone and back again about a hundred times.  She didn't want to have anything to do with mama or baba yet... We didn't want to crowd her, so we just let the two kids get reacquainted.  Within 5 minutes, Quincy was working hard to impress his big sister, and she was bossing him around.  It was like they had never been separated, even though they don't speak the same language any more.
 
We got instructions on her medications from a very concerned caretaker, and signed some papers and were on our way.  Today we complete the adoption formally!
 
At the hotel, it was like deja vu.  She and Quincy are two peas in a pod.  She acted almost exactly like Quincy did when we brought him here on his adoption day.  She played constantly with the TV's, phones, DVD player, cameras and everything electronic.  We took her down the street to buy some dress shoes and she tried running into traffic, and walked out of a store with a toy.  She didn't realize we had to pay for it.  She has no concept of the outside world, and her behavior is very young.  She is very strong-willed and stubborn  as well.  We're going to have our hands full.  That's for sure!
 
Mama has handled the blood sugar testing and the insulin injections by herself so far (with grandma's supervision).  I am SO GLAD that mom came along.  I would have been so intimidated to do all of that without her help.  Baba gets to start learning soon.
 
TianTian (Meg) had a really hard time getting to sleep last night... It was pretty rough on all of us.  But it did afford some bonding experience for Mama and TianTian.  We cuddled, and she cried a let me rub her back and comfort her for a while.  Up until that time she'd pretty much shied away from physical contact from the grown-ups.  (She and Quincy were holding hands and hugging and wrestling...)
 
Overall, she seems to be taking it all very well, and was all smiles this morning...  She let Mama brush and braid her hair (which is long, beautiful and amazingly thick).  Now we're off to make her a permanant member of our family!  We can't wait!\
 
Peace, love, and happiness,
Bridget (Proud parent of 2!!!)
