Our 1st FULL Day with Viktorija

We had such a busy first day with Viktorija. She handled it like a trooper!! We went to a friend's surprise b-day party. Although she didn't complain, we could get a sense that she was a bit overwhelmed. We only stayed to give our b-day wishes and then went to the universal place for a hamburger...McDonalds! She knew exactly what she wanted too...a cheeseburger, fries, coke, and ice cream cone. I guess you can live anywhere and know what McDonalds is:-) The next event was shoe shopping. She knows exactly what she likes, and it consists of the color PINK, and anything sparkley! A girl after my own heart! :-) We finally got to the pool about 3:00 and she lit up like a Christmas tree! The child loves the water! She kept showing me that her little fingers were like prunes. But, she didn't want to get out of the water. After pizza for dinner...yes my "diet" is totally shot....she is having some much needed down time. She is enjoying the arts and crafts supplies very much. And, she's already put together 3 puzzles! Looks like I need to do some more shopping:-)
Tomorrow will be an interesting day, as I go to work and Mike will be with Viktorija all day. I know he will do a great job, and it will give them time to form a bond. I, on the other hand, will be missing her and wishing I were at home with her. We are so blessed to have been able to work out our schedules so that she will always be with one of us. I work Mon and Wed, and Mike will work Tues and Thurs. We're both off on Fri. God is good!
