Sept 28 - the good times just keep comin'...

Sept 28 Sunday 12 noon – it was back to being beautiful out yesterday but cloudy so far today – yesterday we got to high 20’s, then it rained overnight. Hi everyone! Just a quick note to say we’re doing great – Angelique is enjoying more new things, and keeping us very entertained!

She especially loves music, which is awesome as we have music playing all the time both here and at home. She’s figured out how to stop and start my Ipod (as only a 3 year old can), and bops her head or full-body dances (swings her arms over her head) to everything from Green Day to Brian Setzer, and always follows the beat, which is a hoot. We still sing along to Bob the Builder and she knows more of the words each day – the ‘Yes We Can’ is now ‘Yep wit ka’, said with much enthusiasm!

One new thing that started yesterday (Sat) is that Angelique really started enjoying a bath, even asking to go in! Up until now she has been scared of it, and was only letting us wash her from a basin of water. So this is very exciting! She also loves brushing her teeth, and asks to do this a few times each day.

Yesterday we did a bit more grocery shopping and this time we brought home a doll, which A really enjoys – she even wanted to come straight home to play with it instead of stopping at the playground! So the rest of the evening (other than the bath), part of the night and all this morning has been devoted to playing with her ‘bebe’. Too cute!

Today we tried an earlier naptime, then this afternoon we’re headed to the big park in the city (called Gorky park, like the movie), which apparently has a zoo, indoor/outdoor waterpark and lots of stuff to see. Yay we get to be touristy again!

Thanks for all the comments talking about the strange behaviours of other 3 year olds –makes us feel a lot better!

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Take care, lots of love

It's nice to get to see Angelique's city with her before you leave. It sounds like everyone is settling in and having fun. Have fun being tourists... she'll like the Mega store and the circus as well (2 sites I plan to bring Liza to).

Hi Nicole and Paul...I just came back from having purchased a few mattresses and told the store tenders that I was leaving for Kaz tomorrow. They mentionned they also knew a family adopting a girl that just bought a bed and then they showed me this cute country bear plush toy that they had put aside for her... I guessed it... it's you guys ... they want us to bring in both of our girls holding their country teddy bears so they can take a picture of them together... isn't that too cute and funny... I filled them in that you'll be back any day now and they were excited for you guys. What a coincidence.

Hey guys! You have been gone long enough and I would like you all to come home now! It is so nice to read how everyone is getting along so well and the challenges of a toddler are apparently equal worldwide! Jess too loves Bob da builder so they can enjoy many hours of Yes WE CAN! Can't wait to see you at home - kisses to all! Love C/J/J

Hello alll
Just read "Jo said" not our Jo... obviously.
but how awesome is that for Angelique and how your story has touched soooooooo many people... family and friends you understand... but the store when you bought her mattress!!!! just awesome and it would be sweet if we could ever figure out how many people have been touched by your story and your friends stories... of course we will never know.because many many people are following your blog but never comment... I know of maybe 15 or so people myself...
hope you are well
