Jake edition #8

Another good day but we are all tired of traveling and are looking forward to going home. Jacob had a lot of fun today as he learned to kick his beach ball in the room. He has gotten so he loves the bath and cries when he is taken out. He and Kenny play and splash a lot there.

A group photo of the kids was taken today and Jacob looked fantastic in his long blue Chinese gown which Kim got him. He has learned to "high 5" when he does something good. He likes to feed the fish in the hotel lobby. We went to the pool for almost two hours today and he continues to like the water more and more. He let his dad take him out into it for the first time as well as sitting on the steps of the pool throwing his ball, splashing his hands and kicking his feet. He also enjoys playing with the Pat the Bunny book. Later today he developed bronchitis and was taken to the doctor and is now on medication for it.

Jacob's food tastes have changed as he no longer likes the rice congee but likes banana, eggs and bread.

His dumb grandparents bought him a drum from a store owned by a Chinese Christian. The parents say the drum will be held for a future special day.

Kay is now the second biggest producer of boiled water in Gouangzhou and the third largest launderer of children's clothing.

Supposedly the visa paperwork went through without a hitch so far so he will be sworn in Wednesday. Supposedly our flight for late Friday is confirmed and hopefully will go smoothly.
