Anyway, after breakfast and some playtime with Tasha mostly just walking around the apartment (she's not into playing with any toys, just wants to walk and walk and walk), we decided to try bath number two. It went great. This time Tasha realized that the warm water felt pretty good and we weren't rushing her through any of it. By the time all that was wrapped up it was lunch time.
After lunch, Anna came over to fill out "some" forms. This turned out to be about two hours worth of writing and signing. When done, Anna went to the store with Ryan and I. We were going to go anyway, but she volunteered to go along and help us. Not only was she able to ask for things neither of us could find, but her retirement card gave us 5% off at the checkout counter. :)
When we returned, Tasha was up and following mom around. Ryan went to play in his room and then he and Jacki kept trying to get Tasha to come in and play, but she just keeps liking the wandering thing. It must be a great new freedom for her.
The stress for the day is that Tasha didn't want to let me feed her her dinner. I tried and tried, but I guess I'm too big and scary. She is attaching very quickly to Jacki, but she has minimal experience with men as all the doctors and caretakers at the orphanage were women, so I'm assuming she doesn't know what to think of me. At this point it's looking like Jacki will have to hold her and help her eat meals for some time. I on the other hand have to precut all of Jacki's meals for her. :)
Tomorrow is another at home day while Anna goes and submits all the forms to the embassy. Friday will be the official day where we can pick up Tasha's visa. Until then we will continue the meal adventures and hopefully get some more sleep! Jetlag is still an issue, except for Ryan who is having no sleep problems whatsoever. He's a real trooper this trip, with everything from all the flying, driving and learning about his new sister.
That's it for tonight. Time to try to sleep.
