Arriving in Guangzhou

We have made it to our last stop: Guangzhou. We left Zhengzhou early and we were more than a little
anxious about the two hour flight. Chloe is a bundle of energy and sitting still for two hours is torture for her. However, she did amazing! She slept for about 1 hour and sat nicely for the other hour. That was a huge answer to prayer! We are settled in nicely to the China Hotel now and have visited the McDonalds next door for a late lunch. Some of our options were drumsticks, corn on the cob, a blue egg roll, and luckily plenty of recognizable western options. 
The China hotel is very nice, we somehow made it onto the executive floor and have a beautiful view of the playground and garden/waterfall area. A few families went down to the playground area and it was amazing to see personalities emerge. Chloe's roommate, Mei Na, has been a very quiet reserved little girl but you would never know it seeing her on the playground today. Chloe and Mei were cracking each other up as they chased each other around the area. It was the best!
A few things about Chloe: 
She is most definitely in the terrible twos - not afraid to tell us how she feels (tantrums a plenty)
She is the life of the party - she has a happy scream that she uses to see how the other kids react and then she runs toward them trying to get them to play. Her best buddy is Mei Na.
She is very generous - she will give items to people and then take something of theirs to give to another person. She's a mini Robin Hood.
She likes to wave to everyone and if you are lucky she will blow u kisses. And she loves Baba kisses.

I am unable to upload pictures from the camera right now, a few iphone pics are all I can offer.
