Today we had a really good visit with Sasha. We were able to spend about 1.5 hours with her this morning which seemed to go by very quickly. We were able to play with her and enjoyed getting to see bits of her personality come through today. It appeared like she remembered us from yesterday so she warmed up to us and interacted well. She laughed a lot playing peek with Matt and also liked to give a high five. We also traced her feet to get an idea of what size of shoe she wears and she loved that! We spent probably 5 minutes tracing her hands and feet after she insisted that we to do that again and again. As I mentioned the other day, we took a photo album with some pictures of us and the dogs. We look through it with her identifying us and the dogs by name several times while we’re there and she absolutely loves it. If she lays it down she goes right back to it and carries it around. Just like yesterday, she loves looking at Dudley and Sally. In one picture she pointed to Jenny and said “papa” which was kind of funny but also good that she is starting to see us as people who can take care of her. We played back some of the pictures we took of her on the camera and she loved that. She would point and say her name or “baby” and then she leaned in and kissed herself in the photo, it was priceless! I know you all would love to see the pictures but we aren’t sure if we can put them on the internet until she is officially our child. Hopefully we will have an answer to that soon and can share something but no promises. She is quite the 2 year old and full of energy. I’m not quite sure how we’ll entertain her on a 10 hour plane ride back to the states. I guess we have time to figure that out though.
Tomorrow it will be harder to leave knowing it will be several weeks before we see her again. Pray that our time is well spent and that we are able to have a peace about leaving her. We are really impressed by the baby home and the people taking care of her so that will help.
