Down Day

Well, today we only had to wait until Friday for the medical appointment and to pick up the translated documents. So, we went souvenir shopping. It was exhausting, but no comparison to the adoption process. We actually negotiated people down from 2,800 shillings to 400 shillings. Yes, we did our homework before shopping and it paid off. Now we just have to make sure that we have enough room in our suitcases.

We went swimming again today, and Gabriella jumped into the water while holding Brian's hands, can blow bubbles and kick her feet. She will be swimming in no time. While Gabriella still uses both hands to do some things, it is now clear that she is left-handed. Brian says that she will make a fortune as a women pitcher, but we are going to have to buy her a new glove because she won't be able to use Casey's and Corey's old glove. We bought Gabriella a doll, which she does like, but doesn't play with that much. If she gets a choice of what to watch on TV (there aren't many cartoons) she always picks sports (Rugby, soccer, tennis, golf, motocross, it doesn't seem to matter). She is also enamored with babies, motorcycles, cars, buses, trucks and always points them out to us. She does also like her new clothes and would change her clothes often if we would let her.

Here's hoping for a successful tomorrow.
