Ok, so far it's business as usual...
THEN...Miss Courtney brought out this back-bend teaching mat thingy....And Lucy came alive! Here she is looking to the side at an older girl showing her how to do a back bend...she was VERY intrigued and willing to learn!!
Horray for Lucy!!!! Whew. With only 3 classes left we are finally seeing her come out of her shell! I know some of you have suggested that I just leave her there & that she would be just fine. I do occasionally go to the back room and watch through the window, but there's no way I'm about to undo 8 months of building attachment by leaving her in a situation where she isn't comfortable. We do leave her in children's church on Sundays and she does just find without me because she loves my friends Angela & Cathy who are with her. These things just take a little extra time with newly adopted kiddos.
And lastly, Happy Presidents' Day! I hate it. I mean, I'm good with honoring our great presidents of the past but NOBODY'S WORKING ON MY ADOPTION!!! So, tomorrow I will be eagerly waiting for the mail in hopes that my case number from immigration is there!!! Please pray!!!

Yay Lucy!!! And Yay, Lori!!! Mama knows best! It looks like your instincts paid off big time. I LOVE the grin on that little cutie-patootie of yours as she runs off the dance floor! She looks so proud of herself! Precious...:)
I think the big green thing looks scarey! Go figure!!
No one but another adoptive parent can understand why we dread weekends and holidays that everyone else is excited about when you are in the paperchasing and waiting phase!!!! Ugghh for three day weekends!!!!
And thanks for your sweet post!!! We have over $300 in donations so far!!! Yippee!!!
Oh WOW! That is so Awesome!! Yay Lucy and Woohoo mama! Her smile is so breathtaking. You can see how excited she is. very cool.
I know exactly what you mean- we had to make it through memorial day , 4th of july and labor day- let's just keep working right through the holidays to get these kids home!

PS -I see no reason to pout in Florida BUT I may be biased!
Yea for Lucy!!!! I knew she could do it. How cute!!!

Lucy looks great. That smile on her face when she came off of the dance floor was priceless. Hopefully each week will get better and better.
WAY TO GO LUCY!!!!!!!
Yeah - so glad she is finally enjoying her dance class. She is so darn cute!!! :)
So cute ... Yay, Lucy! Maybe she needs a little gymnastics/tumbling class, too! (Like you need more on your plate, I know!)
All the best!
