Bringing Dariya home: Water fun on Saturday

Playing peek a boo with daddy













Daddy was making her crack up today!
As if we weren't in enough trouble with letting Dariya splash in the mud puddles the other day...as it is in the high 80's here we couldn't resist allowing her to play in water with some rubber ducks, turtles and boats.  Oh my the girl had FUN!  


At first she daintly put her hands in and pushed the toys around, she took out the turtle and I signed and said turtle and she signed turtle right back.   It didn't take too long for her to start washing her arms, then her hair, then a little splash well you know how it went after that.... we decided it best that we strip her down to her diaper and let her go for it.  Bless her heart she was trying to crawl in the tub!  I think this girl is gonna love the bath and swimming! 

They might request that we have court tomorrow just to get us out of here LOL!  She is a dirty, sweaty mess when we take her in everyday.
LOVIN' the water
Dad, I think we are busted!
We took the last few things that we had brought for Dariya to wear on our journey home.  As we guessed they were too small so we donated them to the orphanage as well.  So after our visit we headed home for lunch and then jumped on the trolley bus downtown to the city center to go to the market.  We found her a dress and some jammies and 3 pairs of shoes (some for Alayna too).

I always check your blog first thing in the morning, my mornings with Dariya and your family are the best. Thank you for being such a good mom to her, you are the best. Now I have to figure out how to move to K.C.....

Love you,
Renee

This is just so exciting. That child is soooo beautiful! Yes, I think the dirty, sweaty mess is a perfectly good reason for a quick court date! :-)

What fun!!!! I hope you all hear about court soon.

Hmmm...I hear playing in the mud is GREAT for tactile senses. And, hey, if it gets you home sooner, why not? Whatever it takes, right?

She is so cute! I love the videos and the pictures. I wish we'd bought several more pairs of shoes there...the ones we purchased last year (a tiny bit big) still fit Alina and Bridget both, and they have held up beautifully. Good choice to get 3 pairs :)! The pajamas we bought at the market are a different story...they literally unraveled into pieces in two nights :)!

Oh she's so happy playing in the water. She's so blessed to have such a loving family to wake up to every morning now.

Loved the videos and pics of Dariya today. She is such a cute little girl. Just spoke to Mum and told her to check it out down Garrys tomorrow. Dariya is having a blast with you guys. Hoping and praying for a court date soon so you all can go home.

Too bad the nannies can't get a court date for you! LOL I think you are right, tomorrow it would be! :-)

Love the videos, especially the last one. No wonder she loves your visits...she gets to do all kinds of new things that she's never been allowed to do before. Oh how the world is about to open up for your girl...makes my heart sing.
