Today was an amazing day. Today was our gotcha day as well as our daughter's second birthday. Things could not have gone better. She greeted us with tears and a good scream when she was placed into our arms for the first time but settled down within a few minutes. By the time we left the orphanage she was letting us both hold her and was very patient as we kept trading off. No fuss in the cab ride to the hotel or as we went into the hotel and our room. As each minute passed she was coming more and more out of her shell. Our day passed quickly and things continued to go vey well. We even went down to the restaurant for supper. She was just perfect all through supper. We went out again into a cab to the trade office to get her paper work and we had no difficulties. The only problems so far have been when it is nap time and bed time. Still no tears she just becomes very quiet and does not want to lay down. After 1 1/2 hours of laying with her and rubbing her back and head, she fell asleep sitting up. So day one is over and we look forward to our future together.
