Yesterday was the Medical Exam, least that's what they call it. Every family that travels to China to adopt is required to have a medical exam. There are 3 stations set up. Your child must go to each one, plus TB test. We started off getting Visa pictures. Room #1 General Screening (Head measurement, listening to his heart and general check.Room #2 Then weight & tempature. #3 ENT (doctor says Colin has full hearing in his (L) ear and partial hearing in his (R) deformed ear (we were thrilled to hear this, we both teared up). Colin didn't appreciate any of them especially the last (TB test). There were babies screaming everywhere. Those of you have adopted here know just what I'm talking about (utter chaos). We were all happy to leave this building!!! We have to return there tomorrow, so they can check his TB test.
Colin is doing SO much better! He's finally letting Dan & Uncle Frank hold him!! He's walking holding our hands. He's been playing with his sissy and she LOVES it!!! She had him playing ring around the rosey...SO SWEET!!! We've also learned he has a HUGE temper! When he doesn't get his way, he just throws himself down on the floor lays back and starts screaming. Something we will definitely have to work on. He has the SWEETEST smile!! He's trying to say mama!
We are ALL ready to go home! Tuesday morning we have our CA. Wednesday we head to Hong Kong and Thursday we travel HOME!!! None of us are looking forward to the LONG flights.
Thank you for all your prayers!!!

I'm here from Jen's blog. What a precious son and family you have. So glad he's doing well and opening up more! That "temper" is probably just a "tantrum" phase some children go through at his age. Love the smile!

Yay!!! Wow, lots has happened. He looks really happy, as you all do! Can't wait to meet Mr. Colin!
It's so amazing what a few days can do! What a cutie-pie! Y & M have been praying for Colin and all of you...they can't wait to meet him! Every day they ask if there are more pictures! Will keep all of you in our prayers over the next few days and until you are home!
