Family Day!

We are in Nanjing since Sunday! We met Jun Ke yesterday and he is the most wonderful, loving little boy. He is calling us Mama and Baba and calls Chloe the Chinese word for Big Sister. He is "Didi", little brother. He had a visit from the doctor yesterday and was deemed very healthy and very smart. We are sure of this as well. He eats and sleeps very well. He speaks a little English and uses many gestures. He also takes our phrase books and finds words in Chinese characters to show us. Since he can read Chinese we went to a bookstore and bought a stack of Chinese children's books including a Tom and Jerry comic book which he says is his favorite. He orders Chinese food at restaurants twice now and seems to banter quiet comfortably with all the waitresses. (I think he is a little flirt!)

Jun Ke and Chloe are getting along very well. Sharing the DVD player and toys and walking hand in hand together when we are out.

Today was the official adoption ceremony. We met the orphanage director who spoke very highly of Jun Ke. She says he is a very good boy and a favorite of hers. We took their picture together and she asked that we email it to her. Tomorrow we visit the Children's Institute where he has been living so that he can say good bye to the nannies there.

We'll post again but maybe not until Gaunghzhou.
