The last of the paperwork in Nanjing

After our sightseeing in the morning we stooped at the Burger King for lunch. Then we headed up to our room for Will to take his nap and for our guide to call saying she had the last of our paperwork.

Will will mostly sleep in the crib, but it is very short and the mattress was set pretty high so if he didn't want to stay in it he could get his leg over the railing and climb out. So a few naps and one night he slept in our bed. Unfortunately for me his favorite place to sleep is lying on top of me. He does not feel very heavy when he lays down on me and so it is not so bad. He lays pretty still if he is laying on mama, but if he lays between us he moves around alot. Today was one of those days that he was not going to sleep in the crib. So we had a nap together of about an hour and a half.

Our guide was to call the room around noon to let us know she had gotten his Chinese passport, the notarized and translated copies of his birth certificate, abandonment certificate, and adoption certificate. We never got a call but she came to the room at a little after 2 pm with all of his documents. We got 3 copies of each notarized document, a letter saying it was a notarized copy, and for the translated documents that it was a true and accurate translation. We put these in our document envelope in the backpack to make sure we had them with us on the plane.

Our guide said she would send the bell boy up at 3:15. So the wait continued, unfortunately Will only slept about another 20 minutes. So we had packed everything up and were waiting in our room. It is not a large room, the biggest advantage is it faced a main road with lots of vehicles, motorized bikes, bikes and people going by and Will loves to watch everything happening outside the room.

Well 3:15 passed and no bell boy came, so David would go look(not steeping all the way out of the way out of the door) in the hallway to see if the bellboy was coming, and then Will would try to close the door on baba, laughing as he did it. This "game" lasted for about 15 minutes. David said "I thought she said 3:15", and we knew we were suppose to leave the hotel at 4 pm. So we decided to call front desk to ask for the bell boy. The bellboy came up and loaded all our luggage. We brought a duffel bag to help us stay under 44 pounds per piece of luggage for the in country flights. So we went downstairs with our luggage, checked out and waited for our guide and van driver. The guide arrived at about 3:45 running in the door and apologizing for running late. We said it was fine and we loaded the van to head to the airport.
