Well is't day two as parents and today we had to sign and pay to officially be parents. One of his caretakers was there and he wanted to know where his primary caregiver was. He was so upset, he started to cry. She encouraged him that we are his parents now and everything will be alright. He loves to be outside so we went for a walk and he would not let me put him down. We had a short walk to a nearby park where we drew stares and smiles from every bypasser. I must say we do stand out like sore thumbs. The terrain here is much like Las Vagas (totally flat with jagged peaks in the back ground). This is the largest city in Inner Mongolia and their is tons of shopping here. You have to haggle for everthing. Last night we paid $25 for diapers and today we paid $6 for: 2 bottled waters, ice cream and a bottle of coke.
Jun Jun is so cute. He really wants our attention and never is out of touch with us. He always holds our hand and sits on our lap and just kind of stares at us. Already his personally is coming out as he was laughing when I sat him on the horse statues outside (he sat on all 10 of them). It's nice to finally be a dad except for the sore back.
There is an Inner Mongolia museum close by that we want to goto this week.
