To-Do List

There are many things that need to be done in preparation for our trip to China and in preparation for bringing our daughter home. Here's a glance at our "Completed" and "Yet To Do" Lists:









Completed
1. Purchase board book for baby about Chinese adoption
2. Purchase set of 3 rubber duckies that light up when they float on water
3. Purchase 2 travel dresses for me (Andrea) to wear in China. And I DO look smashing in them!
4. Save up all money needed for trip to China


Yet To Do
1. Pick out name for baby
2. Pick out alternative boy name in case baby is a boy
3. Remove postage-stamp sized pieces of wallpaper backing off theoretical baby's room
4. Pick out paint color or theme for decoration of baby's room
5. Purchase any clothing item for baby
6. Purchase any hygiene item for baby
7. Purchase any feeding item for baby
8. Purchase any transporatation item for baby
9. Babyproof house
10. Babyproof cats
11. Purchase suitcase to take to China
12. Purchase any special items for trip (besides above-mentioned fabulous dresses)
13. Get vaccinations for China
14. Learn Chinese
15. Wash the 250+ hand-me-downs given to us for baby

So if, after our referral, I don't return your calls, or turn down your many, many requests for my social company, please don't take it personally. I'm going to be VERY busy. So is Paul.

You're to do list is a tad bit longer than mine (but not by much!). How did a wait that was so long suddenly seem so close to the end? Funny how that works!
