Day 1!!!

What a day!  We are exhausted Ollie fell asleep at 7pm and we are soon to follow.  I'm hoping since Dong Dong was up early he will sleep well tonight.  Lilly got over 10hrs of sleep she's doing fine!  I hope this post makes since I'm getting alittle  loopy!  We flew into Zhengzhou was met by a driver taken right to the hotel where we saw Dong Dong standing our front.  We knew it was him he was wearing the sweat suit we had Ann at Red Thread send.  He looked so tiny!  I knew he is smaller then Ollie but I just wasn't thinking he'd be that small.  He  knew who we were and he had a bottle of milk he offered to share with us (the milk taste horrible here) we all took a drink and he was pretty happy to meet us.  We gave him his backpack of toys which he took out he loved the cars.  We had about 3 minutes to spend with him and then we were whisked off to lunch.  He did not ride with us which concerned Ollie a lot!!! She was so relived and happy to see him at the restaurant.  Boy can he eat!!!  And he loved anything that was given to him.  The women who brought him, one of the nannies, has been with him since he arrived at the orphanage.  She was having a hard time (she started to cry a couple of times during the meal) letting me help him.  Then we were taken to the CCAA to complete the adoption.  He is ours!  He rode with the Nannie again and when he got there he played with the girls and was having a good time til they told him she was leaving.  The Nannie also had a hard time.  Its nice to know he was loved so much.  He is one strong little guy!!  He cried hard and tried to leave Ken had to hold him this probably lasted about 15min and then he went back to play with Ken and the girls while I finished up some paperwork.  We were told we have done the fastest adoption in history!  We had to tell them we were waiving our 24 hour right (to what give him back we don't think so!)  we waived it.  There is so much more to tell but Ive got to get some sleep Ken is crashing fast.  Dong Dong is happy he laughs and smiles hes all BOY he eats very well and Lilly is just mothering him something awful.  Ollie is a little jealous.
