Our First Real Visit!

This is what I woke up to this am:

Enough already!!! Everyone here keeps saying this is SO unusual for March!!

Here she is waiting for me!

She promptly tossed her snack

She LOVED my camera!!

Her view 100% of the time:

She just kept snapping:

She loved this dry erase board I brought!

She could not get the finger in the picture thing :)

Another Sveta shot:

She LOVED her picture book

Her dog Beethoven, she kept telling the caretakers this is my 4th dog!

She said he could have her snack!

Mama Mama potsalooie (kisses)

I finally wrestled the camera away so I could get some shots of her:

I had to keep telling her to lay down! ladeet!

What a cutie!

Then she grabbed the camera back:

Her nurse! Yes Sveta took this pic:

Going through my bag of goodies:

Our first picture together!!

I can not even count how many times I heard mama mama mama.....
Oh my gosh she was ready to burst waiting for me.
We went through the big picture book, she loved her family, her house, her dogs. Each time someone would come into the room she would yell, come see my pictures!! My papa, my victoria, my danny, my dogs!! Oh look at our house, our cars.
I got hugs and kisses and at one point she laid her head on my lap :) :)
I kept stroking her hair it is so fine. Someone french braided it for her and I wanted to say get it now, mama can't do that!! But I don't know enough Russian :)
When it came time for lunch I told her I would see her later. She got all sad and said no, mama stay :(
Then she told one of the workers she had to pee and they had to get the bed pan out. She got all embarrased and told me to leave, but I told her mama will stay! I got to see her hip scar! Man it is big, but it has healed beautifully.
I was able to ask the caretaker enough questions to get her schedule:
wake up                       7 am
breakfast                      8 am
snack                           10 am
lunch                            12 pm
nap                             1-3 pm
snack                            4 pm
dinner                         6:45 pm
bedtime                         9 pm
We blew kisses and yelled goodbye for a couple of minutes then I told her I love you!! see you later!!

Man I was tired!! She has a little fiesty side, used to getting her way :)
I only had to say no a few times!
She took so many pictures my battery was completely depleted :)

In the end I ask her for kisses :)
Completley in love!
