The second day


Two very tired parents from excitement, jet lag and lack of sleep and a daughter who does not like to sleep do not match very well. We were told by her caregiver at the orphanage that she sleeps about 1 and a half hours after lunch and then sleeps from 8pm to 6am. Well, she hasn't taken a nap yet and she didn't go to sleep until 11 last night. She gets angry when we insist that she stay on the bed. Nothing else seems to bother her. We needed to leave very soon after Jim picked her back up to the bed, so as we were leaving, she didn't want to hold his hand or have him carry her. Only mama. We got into a taxi and she was just about to doze off when we got to the notary's office. So while we were there she got into overdrive out of exhaustion. It took a while to get her settled down again. In the meantime, we got this picture with the glasses. She loves having her picture taken!

She is still delightful, even through our exhaustion. She has been smiling and laughing since she woke up this morning (except when we made her stay in bed). She imitates things we do after only seeing it once.

We talked to our sons this morning, our time, last night for you, using Skype. It's an internet phone system that doesn't cost anything. It was great. Sorry we missed you Karen. You were on your way back to school, or there already.

I hope the picture gets posted with this. We have a little bit of a process to get it on.
