Day 6 - Medical Exam

As part of the entrance requirements to the US, the new babies must have a simple medical exam, so we all lined up for the 3 exam stations: height and weight, ENT, and general physical exam. The doctor cannot believe Sarah was considered special needs and neither can our facilitator, so she passed the physical with flying colors. We can even tell the difference with just a week of better nutrition for her. Her skin is much smoother and she is definitely smart and active.

Sarah loves to imitate Elizabeth. Elizabeth drew a face with two eyes and Sarah copied by drawing a circle with two dots. Sarah now says "come draw" to Elizabeth.

We did lots of shopping in the afternoon. The streets of Sha Mian Island are lined with shops selling everything a tourist can want. Sarah finally has some new clothes that fit her. We just can't convince her to wear her new shoes. She has her mind made up on what she wants to wear already!
