It’s been almost two years now. Hard to believe that our little girl who bounces and climbs everywhere couldn’t even sit up by herself 2 years ago. It’s been an amazing two years and we’ve all learned so much. Li Li’s personality manifests itself more visibly every day, whether it’s her sheer joy in using the word no – both in volume and repetition; or her carrying around one of her Pandas and letting us know the Panda is crying.
She’s always been a puzzle girl and the complexity of the puzzles she’s doing and the speed at which she does them amaze me. Watching her do a puzzle in minutes that only weeks earlier completely flumooxed her is so much fun. The confidence with which she picks up a piece and quickly slots it into the proper spot really takes your breath away and makes you want to pick her up and hug her.
She is such a social butterfly and rarely fails to charm every adult and most children wherever she is. For those of you who knows us, you know how different this is from her parents. We recently had dinner at a friends house and there were 5 teenagers, four of them teenage adoptees, in addition to 2 pre-school age adoptee girls. Watching Li Li charm these teenagers was amazing. She had them all eating out of her hand which is slightly scary to behold.
We will post new photos soon.
Ciao, Thom
