Just Waiting

Huihui has been struggling a little the last 24 hours.  He's not crying a lot, just fussy and unsettled.  We're not sure what he exactly wants and I'm pretty sure he doesn't either (other than the obvious of surroundings he is used to).  He is upset when either CJ or I leave the room, even to go to the bathroom, and even when the either of us remains with him.  I know this whole thing is hard on him, so I pray this period of transition and fear passes quickly. 

Last night, we went to a Hot Pot restaurant that our guide had recommended.  What she didn't tell us was that no one there spoke English and there were no English menus.  Hot pot is a traditional Mongolian food.  They put a hot pot of boiling broth in the middle of the table and then you (or in our case, the staff) cook raw food in the broth, place it in a peanut flavored soup, and add a number of spices and fresh cilantro to your own taste.  It was delicious.  Huihui loved it, but let's just say we had no idea what meat we ordered or even what one of the vegetables was.  Oh well, I guess.  It was good.  Oh, and by the way, I think I finally figured out chopsticks.  :)

We had another lazy day of going to the pool, working out, and napping.  We are just waiting--ready to come home at this point and see our girls.  Tomorrow we fly to Guangzhou, so I probably won't have time to update the blog.  (So, mom, we're fine!)
