Ok, I'm finally posting about day 6 with Drew, which was Sat. Christmas Eve. We had to get up fairly early to hit Shaimian Island for Drew's TB check. Started out ok, with Kelly happy to see her friend Arden (see the cut photo of them holding hands while on their daddy's shoulders) but Drew wasn't buying into the happiness stuff, and started her first meltdown of the day at the Exam center. It went South from there. She did have fun playing in the Play Room at the Victory and we actually saw some "playing" which was wonderful to see. She had fed herself that morning and was engaging more with eye contact, all encouraging stuff. We tried to shop while on the Island for the traditional outfit for the time honored "Red Couch Photo". Drew cried through that. We decided that lunch might help, so we trooped (our family of six, and our friends family of 4) to the Starbucks there and managed to annoy most of the patrons there with Drew's crying. Didn't stay long, but hussled off to the White Swan, and managed to REALLY annoy a lot of people with screams, instead of crying...good, full lunged screams. So our Red Couch photo is priceless...Kelly squirming all over and not helping, Cory trying to get Drew to shush, Jamie laughing at them all, and Drew kicking and screaming...lovely. The family had had enough, so they threw me into a cab with Kelly and Drew and they took off to shop while I took the littles back to crash at the hotel. Thankfully they did crash and the shopping was successful as you can see by Jamie's strange double zippered jacket. We all fell into bed realizing we were all coming down with a cold and slept.
