First Aunt Suzanne came down for a quick visit Sept 12th. She joined us for dinner with our group that meets once a month. We call them China's Lams, a group of families with girls adopted from China. The regulars didn't make it this month, but we saw one family that finally got their referral after a 5 year wait! and another gal that was adopted soon after we started our process. She turns 5 soon. Quite the chatty one. Robyn had a blast playing with her and the other families son (who was born during their wait.)
Aunt Suzanne got lots of quality playing time with Robyn both that Monday and Tuesday. Then on Friday we met the Bricks at Typhoon Lagoon! Oh man we all had lots of fun. Robyn loves the kiddie zone, the lazy river and the pool next to Crushing Gusher. It was hot out, but the water felt great! We left around 1pm and she fell asleep in the car on the way! All three of us took a nap then met up with the rest of the family for dinner at the Studios. David and I FINALLY got to go on Star Tours (new and improved) and we had dinner at Backlot Express. We ran into an international college program cast member that was also from TianJin!!! She was soo excited that we knew where her city was and had been there and she said hello to Robyn! I'm gonna try and visit her over at the restaurant now and then. Would be neat to keep in touch after she goes home!
Then on Saturday we met at EPCOT, the Bricks decided to go back to the Studios for more Star Tours and we went with Grandma and Grandpa to Animal Kingdom. We walked around a bit then went to go see the Lion King Show. Robyn loved it.. kept signing.. more more! Afterwards we headed home while the grandparents stayed to see more animals. We all took, yet another nap. Then David ran to Primos and back (in Lakeland-but worth the drive) for pizza, stromboli and calzones for dinner! We all met back at Coronado for a family dinner! Beer and pizza. yum. Then we all got on our bathing suits and went to the pool. The kids had a great time playing together! What a fun day again!
Sunday everyone came over to our house in the morning for a visit before heading home. Grandma & pa left around noon and the bricks around 2-3pm. Robyn was done with the boys by then.. and she was getting upset with everyone playing with her toys!! Mine mine.. she's not so good with the sharing! So at one point, I'm like.. where's Robyn I stand up and notice her door is closed. I opened it to find her sitting in the dark. I asked her. "Are you done with the boys" and she said yes. Ok.. nap time! She took a nice long nap and we said goodbye to Nick, Chris, Aunt Carol and Uncle Lance. Wow what a crazy week/weekend.. but man we had lots of fun! POor kid then got sick.. and has been since last Tuesday! Today I saw gack coming out of her EAR! ew ew.. so the cold has now moved on to a sinus infection (probably) we have a Dr's appt at 540pm today (love that office always able to accommodate us). So she's napping now.
Actually a note on that. I fed her lunch at her little table, and she was "feeding" me everything in her play kitchen! Anyway I said, ok Robyn after your last bite it's naptime. She took the bite, said nap nap. Went into her room and before I got her dirty plate to the sink she had closed the door, quietly I might add! So i put her dishes in the sink and walked in to her room, she was already climbing up into her bed! How cool is that! After a few rocks she was ready and that was that! wow.. this girl is just too cool!
Anyway. I'm ready for her to get better, this being sick sucks!
That's all for now. We are going to bring down the Halloween stuff from the attic this weekend. I've been trying to explain Halloween to her. She got a cute book last year that might help! Soon we'll go to that same pumpkin patch we did last year for some pictures! And a pumpkin of course!
ZaiJian,
