Ruby the fashion Diva
Relaxing on the couch
This past week has been amazing. We have a couple of challenging days, but most have been just wonderful. Ruby is adjusting well. She has a very high spirit. Today we looked at the photo book we sent to Ruby while she was in the orphanage. This is the third time I've looked at it with her, but the this was the first time we looked at it as a family. She expressed how we looked different in person on the first day we met her compared to the first photos she saw of us in the photo book. Mommy's hair was much shorter and Daddy's hair was long (it was pulled back in the photos). She also mentioned how Daddy's tattoos scared her. This was such a wonderful moment for Ruby to open up like this to us. Ruby is starting to be more open about her feelings and how she felt on certain days while we were in China.
A quick cute story: As we were shopping for food this past weekend and a boy came up to us and said "Hola". It was so cute. I told him he can say Ni Hao because Ruby is from China. We didn't have time to talk because his mother called him over right away. Today we visited the Boys & Girls Club of Buena Vista (this is the town she will attend school) and we saw the little boy at the Club. I asked him if it was him at the store and he said yes. Come to find out he is learning Spanish at Club program. How cute!
