Meet My American parents

见我的美国父母

2014年2月19日是我在福利院的最后一天。

早上白阿姨（在严格的规则）对不我和我朋友不怎么开心因为我们在洗澡的时候玩了一会儿然后不小心溅到了她。在福利院我老是闯祸。我就是一个麻烦制造者。其实白阿姨不怎么喜欢我。我也不怎么喜欢她。我觉得她没有一个仁慈的心。但是，我可能是错的。

我最喜欢的高阿姨来早了因为她知道我那天会走的。她给了我一本书，然后我们就陪陪对方。

当韩阿姨说时间要走了，我跟我的朋友和高阿姨说再见。我很高兴。但是，当我见到我美国家长的时候，我的脸就变平了。

当我见到了我美国的父母然后是时间离开了，我不知道为什么我就开始哭了一点点。妈妈给我一张手纸。我还不想离开呢。我不觉得我准备要离开。但是，我做我最好的。

那天下午，江阿姨，我们的翻译，问我关于我的英文名字。在英语，他们的名字是，你的的名字，你中间的名字，然后你的姓。（XX XX XX)我的名字中间有两个名字。我就想，为什么美国人把他们的名字弄得那么长呀？我是不会记那么长的名字的。我告诉妈妈和爸爸那个名字太长了。然后我中间只有一个名字而且我觉得舒服多了。我的名字已经弄好了。丁姐姐帮我选了我的名字而且我喜欢我的名字。

然后江阿姨问我关于这礼拜在北京的计划。我在想看望刘雨晴（我朋友）和郑老师。我也想去圆明园，因为在学校我们有一个春游，但是我没有去因为老师说走路对我来说太长了。我那时候应该胆子大一点然后说不（不能跟我班同学一块儿去），但是我没说。然后我们商量了那个星期的计划，我同意了。

我和我的姐姐睡同一个屋。她只能说妹妹的中文。我挺喜欢她的。

Sunday, 2-19-2014 was the last day I lived in the orphanage.

In the morning nanny Bai (mention in Strict Rules) wasn't happy with me and my friends Su Nannan and Ma Weibo because we played in the shower and accidentally splashed her. In the orphanage I was always in trouble. I am just a trouble marker. Actually nanny Bai didn't like me very much. I didn't like her either. I think she didn't have a kind heart. However, I could be wrong.

My favorite nanny Gao came early for work because she knew I was going to leaving that day. She gave me a book, and we were just hanging out.

When nanny Han said it was time to go, I said goodbye to my friends and nanny Gao. I was very happy. However, when I saw my American parents, my face got flat.

When I saw my American parents and it was time to leave, I don't know why I started to cry a little bit. Mom gave me a tissue. I didn't want to leaved yet. I didn't think I was ready to leave yet. However, I did as best as I can.

That afternoon, Joy, our translator, asked me about my new English name.  It had two middle names. I thought, why Americans make the name so long? I am not going to remember that super long name. I told Mom and Dad it was too long. Then I only had one middle name and I was feeling better. My first name was already taken care of. Sister Ding helped me pick it out and I liked it.

Then Joy asked me about plans for the week in Beijing. I was thinking to visit Liu Yuqing (my friend) and Mrs. Zheng (my teacher). I also think Yuanmingyuan (the old summer palace), because in school we had a field trip, but I didn't go because the teacher said is was too long to let me walk. I should have been a little more bold and said no to it (not being allowed to go with my class), but I didn't. Then we talked out the plan for the week and I agreed.

Me and my sister slept in one room. She only can say "Mei Mei" in Chinese (which means small sister). I like her.

That was my adoption day.
