Here she is!!

Here is Sophie! She is great! We have had a wonderful gotcha day.

We were in our room talking with our guide at 3:40 when the phone rang saying she was here. When we got down to the lobby she was in the bathroom with the ayi. She came out and walked out to us and I went to her and said her name and she said, "Momma"! I pointed to Shawn and she said, "Babba"! Shawn was trying to take pictures but we had left the SD card in the computer from my last post! Duh! Sent Jake back up to get it...

We played with her and the guide talked with the orphanage director and asked him a few questions for us and after about 30 minutes the director and the ayi left and we took her up to our room. She waved good-bye to the orphanage director and the ayi who brought her and happily played with her new Momma and Babba and GeGe. Mary had a few paperwork things for us to sign and them she went down to the restaurant with us to help us pick out something that she thought Sophie would like to eat.

While we waited for our dinner to arrive, our daughter kept us entertained hopping up and arranging our place settings, we played real live "tea part" with our water glasses, clinking "cheers" and the whole bit. She got a little squirrel-y trying to mix her water and soy sauce so make a soup, so I took her out in the lobby where all the hanging lanterns are and there was a 4 story glass elevator that we could ride up and down on and introduce some great language lessons!! Stop/go Up/down! and just have fun together!

We have a live wire on our hands! She is full of giggles and laughter and playing! She was all over the room checking everything out. We already are setting limits with her as she loves the camera, ipad and computer. She is quick to figure everything out. I'm sure she has never seen this stuff before!

We looked at books, played ipad preschool games, wrestled, played with bunny and  baby, took a bath, played bubbles..... and then after we had started singing she found the flag in the suitcase and started singing and waving the flag and dancing!! Maybe we'll be able to upload the video of it...I was cracking up! She is already giving us kisses and just fell asleep beside me in the bed. I popped up to finish this as I couldn't do it with her awake because she wants to push all the keys on the computer!

There's so much more to say, like how her pajamas are way to big and fall off her booty! and the shoes brought for her are at least 2 sized too big.... but I better get some sleep too!
