Sorry we have not put any more pictures on until now. We have been doing lots of roaming around and snapping pictures- we just hadn't updated the blog.
Things are going great. Clare has quite a little personality. Very strong willed and independent and really quite a character. If she wants to do something without our help, she lets us know in no uncertain terms! She reads us the riot act, as they say. Of course we don't know what she is saying.
At some point every day she has a meltdown because she wants something and we can't understand her. We call Dennis our coordinator and he has helped us work through it. It's got to be frustrating for her to be voicing her needs and not have us understand. We are saying simple things in English and repeating them so she can start to learn some works. Today she learned Peanut Butter- we had it for lunch and she loved it. We don't know if she's ever had it before or not.
Here are some pictures of things we've done the last couple days. Yesterday we went to a park and rented a junker tandem bike. It was a big hit with the kids. We are with two other families who have adopted 6 yr. old boys. They are quite the characters.
