When last we wrote we had just gotten back from the Provincial office. Our interpreter tried to tell Amy that she would be leaving wuhan and orphange and that seemed to make her sad and she suddenly didn't want much to do with me. Once home Amy and I colored for about an hour together and had great bonding time. Then we got absolutely silly and I put on the plastic face. We heard her laugh for the first time and she really started coming out of her shell. Since then it has been a mama, baba, Amy love fest. We managed to wiggle our way into a new exclusive pool and health club last night for swimming and dinner. It is open to the public a few weeks to generate interest. It reminded me of the Roman pools and sauna with marble columns, huge hot tub, spa facilities and a beautiful dining room in separate area. Amy was in the pool for the first time and loved it. Once she found the mirrors on the ceiling she even wanted to float on her back. We played ping pong and and played with beach ball to end the evening. I was making funny faces as I served the ball and when Amy and I played she was trying to copy my faces. Too funny - she is a complete delight!!
Today we went to the orphanage and it was very emotional for us - and very interesting to see Amy's response - we have lots to tell- but we gotta go now - will write about it after we return.
love to all of you - especially Lu, Matt and Jack!
