"Oy!"

This cute little girl climbed stairs with an adorable pink dress and 2 little pigtails and a book (hmm.. she’s heading for the right family!) and then she saw strangers and started to cry. Then she saw the food. The tears stopped and she grabbed a bag of food and climbed up on the couch.

She’s a super organized little gal as every toy had to have it’s place, if we moved it she put it back. She laid the book about dolls, next to the doll we brought and was able to compare the eyes of each, nose, and the pigtails that the book, doll and she had.

Her favorite word is “oy”. If she’s climbing the steps, it’s “oy”, if she drops a toy, it’s “oy”, if she wants something opened it’s “oy”… Her personality really shined through as she was so interactive with us after the first few minutes. After about 15 minutes, Irina wanted to take her to go bathroom, I asked if I could go along. Irina told me no, to just wait. Well this little gal had other ideas she wouldn’t go down the steps unless I went along. (I know Irina was surprised, she said what a bight girl she was). The whole way to the bathroom, she had both our hands and was jumping and trying to swing her way down the hall. She pointed to the animals on the walls and pots and would say the animal name and sound.

We met with the doctor today as well and there were no more surprises in her medical history. During the doctor’s conversation, this little gal kept Mark busy and laughing. The boys took quite a bit to warm up to a man, but having very little experience with men, didn’t bother her. She would just keep going up and patting his hands to get him to do things for her.

Nana will love her as she is obsessed with cleaning. She found the pack of wet ones and proceeded to open them and wash her face and hands. She loved the water bottle, too and spent a lot of time opening it and closing it to take a drink.

Khab Baby Home #2 is a very nice orphanage, very child friendly. She is in the 2/3 year old groupa and it’s a very bright room with caregivers that obviously love her. When we left she was tucking her dolly into bed.

We head back to the orphanage tomorrow for 2 hours and then will at least start on our medicals.
