School Girl



every morning Sasha gets ready for school...
and then she is very disappointed when we don't go...
in China she went to preschool every day from 8:00 am- 5:30 pm,
so, this is the routine she is used to
so today
I took her to visit her Grammy at "Grammy Camp"

she really liked the little car in the gym


and Grammy showed her the blocks

and the sand box
she sang the ABC's with the class really well
and she read a few books
she played in the little house
(and this little red couch reminded me of something...)


Things are going well here! Sasha Tian Tian's adjustment seems too easy at times! She is very social and loves to be with people. The only thing she is really concerned about is the lack of school. We went to see our pediatrician for a post adopt evaluation and ran many tests. The protocol for a newly adopted child is to have evaluations on all spectrums, so we will see many doctors over the next two weeks. 

Again thank you for the comments and support, we really enjoy reading the comments and appreciate all the private emails as well.

This blog has been a creative outlet for me and a good way for me to sort it all out, keep things in perspective, I decided I will keep it going.

  3. So glad to read that you will continue to post. We will leave the US to unite out family in 12 days. Our daughter is in Guilin and turns 4 in October. Reading and viewing your experience has been very helpful to me as I prepare for our family's journey. Thank you for your openness and generosity.

  11. Hi Marla,
    I love your blog. I noticed the children were wearing name tags.
    We are leaving next week with our 5yr.old & will be on our 2nd journey to get our
    daughter was is 3 yrs.
    I noticed the children were wearing name tags. Did your agency provide these or did you
    buy them. I think they are a great safety idea. Please let me know.
    Thank you & a big congratulations, she is adorable.
    Regards, Laura
