Our first day in China

OK So Solomon did not sleep at all last night! We were up playing with toys and watching movies. He was banging on the floor like it was day time. We have do turn the volume down on a couple of toys so we didn't wake the neighbors.

Sheldon had a game today, but we didn't go because Solomon needed a nap BAD!!! We slept pretty much all day until about 6pm. Then we went on our first outing in Shanghai.

Sheldon took us to this quaint restaurant downtown. The served really good smoothies. I had a Greek salad.

All the Chinese food you can eat and I choose a Greek salad. it was pretty good though. Sheldon had some sort of pork. I tried it and it had a wonderful flavor to it. Solomon had all of the above. he is a food conosioure --> don't know how you spell this.

So we get in the cab to come home and the cab driver takes the scenic route. Needless to say that We don't know where we are and the language barrier doesn't make it any better. Shel knows a few words, like the street we live on, straight, right, stop here, hurry up, drive. That is about it. So trying to tell this man that he is going the wrong way is not an option. After trying to show the cabbie the address to where he initially picked up up from on a business card. He pulls the car over and is trying to tell up something but God only knows what the is saying. We get out, pay the man, and hop in the cab behind him and tell that cabbie to take us to the shopping area where we started.

After we get to the shopping area we started at we get out of that cab and start again. . .

This has turned into a journey. I'll be glad when we get where we're going. I'm trying to learn a few words here and there so i can communicate to some extend or this is going to be a really long trip.

After all of this we still have to catch another cab to the apartment. Sheldon is telling the cabbie where he needs to go and the cabbie is insisting that we go another way. Shel wins and we FINALLY reach our destination.

But the adventure is not over.

Upon arriving at the apartment there was a strange stench in the air. You guessed it! My son has relieved himself once again. This time it is ALL THE WAY UP HIS BACK! He was literally covered in $#!t!!! OMG!! It was one of the worst ones ever. It was Sheldon's turn to change him and boy did he have fun doing it! (that was a joke) Solomon's clothes were ruined along with the towel Sheldon changes him on. You won't be able to get those stains out!

Tomorrow is Solomon's 1st birthday!!! Yay!!! We are taking him to the Beyonce concert! uh oh uh oh uh oh!

This should be interesting!

Until next time!

Pictures are forthcoming!
