We've reached our final day in China. Tonight we fly from Guangzhou to Los Angeles, but there was one final piece of work that needed to be accomplished this afternoon. A little background is called for here. It is tradition for adopting American parents to take a picture of their daughter in a Chinese Cheongsam (dress) on one of the red velvet couches at the White Swan Hotel. The White Swan knows this and posts conspicuous signs stating that only registered guests may use the red couches. Leslie wasn't having any of that. She isn't a rule follower (as we've learned already). Leslie wore her Cheongsam proudly in her dirty and slightly broken down (and not very "White Swan") stroller, ready to flaunt the rules.
Yes, she owned that couch. Did everything but pee on it. Even spilled cracker crumbs all over the couch. Clean those up, White Swan!
Afterwards Leslie celebrated her victory on a plush Starbucks sofa, once again eating her favorite food, the cracker. Just look at that smug look on her face.

Good for Leslie! You go little girl! :-)
Go Leslie! Own that couch! Disregard those rules! Let your parents know how life will really be now that you are part of their family!
Oh my gosh - that made me laugh and laugh - Good for Leslie! Down with the stinkin' rules! :D :D
