Good Morning!

Well, while I am waiting for my girly girl to wake-up from her beauty sleep I thought I would write you again.

Yesterday went sooooo smooth, yeah God!

After lunch Nina and I watched Dawson & Dakota play in the cold pool. She tossed the beach ball to them and laughed. She kept putting her sunglasses on upside down. And she kept yelling at me to stop taking pictures. Great, a 3rd child who doesn't want their picture taken! However, I can accept that. So, now I am back to sneaking pictures.

We spent the rest of the evening in our hotel room coloring, playing dolls, etc. I don't know how many rubberbands she put in her pretend Barbie's hair that I had to pull out. This doll didn't have much hair to begin with, and now there's even less. Bill bought her a Beauty in the Beast book written in Chinese. Then we got her a rubber doll set, (still don't know what to call them!) at Wal-Mart that was Beauty in the Beast. So we matched the clothes we had to those in the book.
We are communicating pretty good, between my broken Mandarin (which I have needed so much!) and pointing, repeating, etc. She's getting it and saying words in English pretty well.

We've now had Nina for one week. I have an incredible family. Everything that I have talked about that we have experienced, my dad and the boys have been right there. Patient and strong. I am so proud of the boys for everything they have done. I told Dawson at one point if I could give him the world I would at that point.

Today is clinic day. Ready to get it over with.

No pics for now.

Love to you all.
