We're now 4 days into our stay in Shenyang, and all is well. We're installed in a lovely hotel called the Trader's Hotel. We're still going to bed at 8:30, but now for a different reason. Jed is all ours now. We spent 2 long mornings in a stuffy smoke-filled 6th floor office of the China Civic Affairs office, filling out paperwork along with 4 other families with similar business in Shenyang. Jed spent the first day clinging to Rebekah for dear life. He neither cried nor smiled. By now, however, he's much more free with the emotions. He spends a lot of time playing with his gege (Chinese for big brother), and I think he thinks Gus is the coolest guy on the planet. Gus is really patient with him as well. He calls Jed "my little one", which is cute.
When he's not playing, he's eating. The kid's tossing back food like you wouldn't believe. And he's not picky, either. He must be putting on 5 pounds a day.
Wow. I just fell asleep in my chair. Time for bed. More later.

You want to make sure you are pronouncing ge-ge with the "h" sound, as in "guh guh". And NOT with the sound "gi-gi", which is a bad word that I will tell you the meaning in person...
It appears that things are going really well. The picture of the two of them in matching shirts sleeping on the bed made me positively melt. Keep the comments coming! We're hanging on your every word. Love to all!

Yes. Every word. And picture.
