were able to use their umbrellas and Alyx wear her
trenchcoat.
heads hit the pillow!
and herself for that matter!
tired but she will be out in 3 minutes.
After a very quiet 4 days, Susi nodded and spoke her first words to us. We were at KFC for lunch and there is a small corner with a slide in it for the kids to play on. Graci ran right over and started playing. I asked Susi if she wanted to play and for the first time she answered me with an enthusiastic nod of her head, YES! So we took her to slide and after that she turned into a whole new girl. She was cracking herself up by making noises at us and blowing her straw at us. Then she started making a barking noise at us and couldn't even breathe she was giggling so hard. On our walk back to the hotel she continued acting silly and laughing so we tried to get her to say some words to us. There was these topiary rabbits in the planters and Graci was saying, "rabbit, rabbit" then Susi repeated and again was laughing so hard. We came back to our room and kept trying to get her say "mama and baba". She just kept saying "rabbit" and laughing. Then all of sudden she said it, "MAMA" , "BABA"!!!! What a precious sound to my ears!
Amen! Even though I know it happens and why, it is so amazing and such a blessing to see these children open up and be happy as they embrace their families. She's SO cute!! Thanks for sharing her with all of us!
