Seriously...when she smiles she is such a cutie pie...the trick right now is to get her to smile. I was playing peek-a-boo with her behind one of the street shop stands while Julie was in search of a Tori Burch knock off (which she's still in search of). It was one of my goals today to get a smile and this was the best!
During her afternoon nap in the hotel room I found some excellent local sporting events on the tele. The best part about this particular match was that in between rounds they had a Korean Wayne Newton/Neil Diamond floor entertainer crooning to the crowd. In a country where, at 6'0 180lbs, I feel I could whip about 85% of the male population based on size alone it was good for me to see some physical strength on display. I won't go into the details but this might be my new favorite sport. Rooting for Vanderbilt and the Cubs can wear you down.
Allright, back to Grace...and our adoption adventure. In the spirit of celebrating small victories and answers to prayer, she did take all of her bottles today and her cold medicine. Her runny nose seems to be improving, and she also let us give her a bath (if you count holding her down and squirting shampoo in the water). Julie was able to calm her at bedtime and put her down without the crying. We are so grateful for your prayers and support. Please continue praying for her heart to heal, for us to bond, and for our journey home on Monday. I'm sure we'll pound some pavement tomorrow in search of some great shopping conquest and start packing up our things in the evening.
