Today we walked around green lake park. It is a beautiful park with so much to see and do. There is a little amusement area for little kids and people dancing, singing and exercising. There is also a place where children gather to feed fish (Sophie thought the fish were amazing). There are little paddle boats, which we hope to be able to ride with Sophie later in the week (she is running a low grade fever with a bad cough so we have started her on antibiotics and are trying to lay low with her until she feels better). The older ladies were giving the thumbs up and coming up to us and wanting to see and touch her. One older lady felt her head and told me that she must have a bad cough even without ever seeing or hearing her cough - WIERD! We walked quite a bit until miss Sophie seemed to have to go potty and we decided to head back to our room (now she is napping now and has not had one potty "accident" yet. It is challenging because we do not communicate well yet and there is not a definitive way to know if she has to go potty that we have established yet. We meet our group of friends tonight for dinner at the Blue Bird. It has been a total blessing to have these people to talk with and eat with. We are all in the same boat and encourage one another continually which really helps. I can not say more positive things about our facilitator - he is the best we have seen - he is so helpful and kind and really funny!!! Americans Adopting Orphans families are very blessed to have him - he makes this process so doable and we really enjoy him!
