More Time with Baby D

Well things went well today at the orphanage. We went there twice once about noon for 2 hours then again about 5:30. This allowed us more time when the kids were alert. Yesterday the kids were very tired during our time with them as we were there during what is normally nap time. Well we did a little bit of shopping for souvenirs during lunch break and picked up a few things. The kids were very playful today. So we had a good time playing with them and it was hard to leave them. We decided to start the ball rolling and officially accept the referral and continue with adopting Baby D. We will get to visit tomorrow and have to sign some more papers. Of course, once we return home we will have to complete part 2 of the dossier and get a court date as soon as possible. At least we know that they are in good hands. The caregivers really do care for the well being of these kids that certainly shows in the attention that they are given when we have been at the orphanage. So far we have enjoyed the food and the company.

We do have a funny story. there is a Sesame Street segment where they are in a Russian restaurant but they are out of each of the Russian foods listed on the menu, and they launch into a little song each time the man tries to order something. The first time they do this is for stroganoff, and Ange playfully sings it from time to time with Cerri, especially when she prepares stroganoff for dinner: "Nyet we have no stroganoff, stroganoff, stroganoff. Nyet we have no stroganoff, stroganoff is gone. Hey!" Of course, she has to sing it before preparing dinner and then again after the last of the leftovers are eaten, because in between we DO have stroganoff.

Well today we were going to have stroganoff for lunch, but the restaurant had run out. So Ange got to sing the song for real!

Enough for tonight tomorrow is another day.
