Adjusting, appointments and Mai Lee restaurant.

We continue to adjust to being back home and Sarah continues to become more and more comfortable with her family and everything new around her including our dogs. The sleep is still erratic. Sarah only slept from about 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. this morning after a rather long nap yesterday. We then had to head to another appointment this morning which kept her up for much of the day, but she was a real trooper as usual. She was evaluated by the International Adoption Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital and as we already knew, she is doing great. After the MD checked Sarah, she had a hearing test, a psychology consultation and an occupational therapy evaluation. She was very cheerful and cooperative through out the morning. On a recommendation from the MD, we ate lunch at Mai Lee, the original Vietnamese restaurant in St. Louis. It's located on Delmar in University City and the food was great. Sarah was able to speak to a few people there in Vietnamese and her face just lit up.Sarah has no problem with her photo being taken, but was acting silly last night and kept spinning around to try to prevent ba from getting a good shot.

Looking at her brother's Yu-Gi-Oh! card carry case.
I love profile shots.
Sarah laughs at the photo of herself on my phone.
Hello Skippy.
Sarah still gets upset at times when the dogs get too close, but she is more consistently spending time closer to them.
As busy as Sarah and the dogs are, sometimes it takes a helping hand to get a photo before somebody moves.

Looking awfully happy at 5:30 a.m. after getting up around 2 a.m.
Goofing around with the doctor kit at the International Adoption Center with a friend who came along with us.
Having fun during the OT eval.

The OT was impressed by Sarah's scissoring ability. We're not sure if she ever used a scissors at the orphanage or not.
