What a day!!! It was beyond my wildest dreams. Lily was a bit scared and apprehensive of me, but she quickly warmed up and was giving us smiles. We came back to the hotel and after a quick sponge bath, a bit of congee(rice pudding babies eat in China) and a bottle(it took a few tries with different nipples and heat of formula) Lily is asleep in her crib. She sucks her thumb and seems to have no problem self soothing. I am one happy maman. Paula was a great help to me. At one point she said that she felt like a maid of honour! Isabel, Samuel and Bernie, I miss you and I wish you were here. We will be home soon....
