We made it to Guangzhou last night at around 8 PM. Caleb did very well on the short flight from Nanning (about 50 minutes). He loved the buttons on the console and I don't even think he knew he was in the air. He then stayed nicely in his seat and colored for the remainder of the flight, this gives me high hopes for the 13 hour flight home, but I will try not to keep them too high! He loved the landing and giggled, but did not like the long taxi after landing and let the whole plane know about it!
We are staying at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, and it is very nice. This morning, we were reunited with all of the families that we started the journey with in Beijing, as well as some families that did not do the Beijing tour with us. How exciting to meet all of their new additions, as well as, hear their stories of the highs and lows they also have encountered.
Today was the day of the medical examination. Caleb did pretty well until he was laid on the table and examined, and then: just when he got over that, he had to be weighed and measured. All in all, there were tears; but nothing too traumatic. On the way back to the hotel, we met a wonderful Christian man named Jordan, who has a shop here that sells everything we need to take back to the kids. We told him we would be back to shop tomorrow and he is planning to write out Caleb's name in Chinese calligraphy for us. He got very excited about the name "Caleb" as he recognized it from the Bible.
We made some discoveries about Caleb today that Keanan and Abby will be excited about. Keanan - Caleb loves oatmeal! Abby - Caleb loves Cheetos! He saw Kai today (the son of a family we began the journey with) and took right to him. We think it's because he looks a lot like you Keanan! Love and miss you guys and keep praying for all of us as our journey is soon coming to an end here!
