My second visit

This again is going to be a condenced version of my visit. I plan to write much more about each visit so that I have it all written down. Today I was taken to the baby home by the drive who speaks almost no English. I do have a funny story (funny now not then) about my first trip to the baby home. I will wait until I am home to tell it so my Mother and Gerard's parents do not worry.
We got there at about 12 pm again right after her lunch. At first she was a bit unsure but the previous day she focused mostly on my sudoku puzzle book. She has easily looked at every page about 4 million times. The day before she did not want to play with any toys just look at the puzzle book. So to break the ice I held out the puzzle book and she went for it. Although this time I switched it out after about 5 minutes with a photo album of our home, her room, and family. Bingo! For the first 15 minutes she just flipped the pages fast and furiously. Then I started to slow her sown and tell her about each picture. I included in pictures of her and us together. At one point she stopped at a picture of us and turned her head to me and smiled. We played outside in the 100 degree weather but were able to find some shade thank goodness. I fry in the sun. I did not think to pack sunblock I am in Russia after all.
This was the first time that we were able to just play without someone standing right next to us. I did take a few pictures but I was more concerned with just being with her. I am not sure when I will get to do that again so that was my focus. The funny thing is when I started to tkae a few pictures she thought I was playing pee a boo.
She is very sweet and smart. She LOVES books! This has been the one thing she has liked in each of my 3 visits. I will write more tomorrow. I am dirty, hot, sticky and typing from my phone.
The big for tomorrow is court! Off to look over some paperwork.
