On Friday we took Samuel to the medical appointment that all adoptive kids have to go through. He was weighed and measured, eyes tested, TB test done, and at one point had to go behind a screen with the doctor for an exam. I'm sure not sure how thorough that was, since it only lasted a few minutes. The TB test is always a bit of a worry, since a positive test will require the child to stay in China extra time for treatment, but Samuel's turned out just fine.
We were also planning for him to have at least 3 vaccinations (required to leave China), but fortunately his shot record was very thorough and up-to-date, so he did not have to have any. We had promised him ice cream after the shots, but got it anyway! Children under 10 can get a waiver to have vaccinations done at home, but over 10 they have to be done here. We were thankful that it turned out the way it did.

I posted a similar picture two years ago. This is the alcohol vending machine in the lobby of the medical building, haha.

And after we got back to the hotel there was more Uno playing! Samuel wants to play Uno every time we are in the room, and asks everyone, "Play?"
And there is always time for game-playing on the tablets, too.
That night we went to The Italian Restaurant. We'd been there once before on our Caylie trip. Samuel spent most of the time talking to the wait and cook staff, and trying to help them set up their buffet.
Yummy spaghetti!
