I just wanted to say how much I love this blog! It's exciting to see packing lists and see what people are putting together for their trips to China. What an awesome idea!!
What a great job Jennifer!! I found some things I didn't think of ~ outlet covers, night light and a Rubbermaid container for formula!!
I better go add those to my list! I am loving this blog! Thanks for all the ideas!
Angela :)
Great Job, Jennifer!!!
Your list looks great. Reminded me of a few things I've missed. :)
Here are my thoughts, they are kind of all over the place.
I wouldn't worry about tongs, I plan on using chop sticks. They are much smaller and easier for me. Thanks for the tip on the Chinese formula. I will probably bring lots of ziploc bags and transfer it. I'm not going to worry about a container...takes up more room. I wouldn't think you need a scoop, just a measuring cup in metric and prefill your liners. I've heard that a funnel is helpful but I "think" I'm pretty coordinate. (boy, that statement will come back to bite me, I'm sure! ha. ha) I think our daughters/sons will be on the bottle but I've heard some really like the sippy cup. So, I'll bring only one. I'm taking size 3 diapers also. The diaper rash cream that I'm taking is Butt Paste and a Chinese Ped recommended Triple Paste. I will buy both of those at referral. I laughed about your shoe/clothing police comment. I don't think it's just about the shoes but rather any exposed skin...legs & arms.
Those are my thoughts. You've done a GREAT JOB!!! Stephe
