Day 7 of our 14-day bonding period.
We got to bring LG back to the our hotel today for a 2-hour visit. We watched a couple of cartoons from our Pink Panther DVD. By the way, Pink Panther cartoons have no spoken English so they are easy for children to understand. We also played a few card games. It was really interesting because we did not have our translator today. LG learned how to play and say "Go Fish!" We also played a Sesame Street version of Bingo and a Winnie the Pooh version of a memory card game. Along the way, LG learned quite a few English words. We have no doubt that she is going to pick up the language fast when we are home.
There have been some adoptive families that have left here to finalize their adoptions in Alamaty. That means there were some 3rd floor rooms with kitchens available, so we got to move up to one tonight. We're pretty happy about that.
