We are committed to writing in this blog each day. Today is Saturday. We have no news about our adoption. We both slept extra today, not needing to worry about getting up to talk with Sveta or go to the MOE.
We’ve noticed that Saturdays are a slower day here where we are in Nizhniy Novgorod. Of course, we are not sure what it is like in the mall, which is in the lower end of the city across the bridge. We visited the mall yesterday in anticipation of our trip to see Julianna. The toy store was interesting…yes, we did find a toy store. It had some popular toys, but was not nearly as large as a ToyRUs Store. We bought some interesting toys to take with us to engage Julianna in play…like a brightly colored shape sorter, a picture book of Winnie the Pooh in Russian that plays popular children’s tunes, a mama bear with her cub, a small ball, crayons and color book, bubbles, and a finger puppet of a lion attached to a book. I think this will be interactive and enough for us to engage her and learn a little about her, too.
Today, we rest a bit….unless God has other plans!
