Day 16

The day started out a little sad as we took Abby to the airport to begin her journey home. I will miss her and all the fun we had. However, I will be keeping in touch with her for a long time especially since I think Sasha has a crush on Jake.

I think I will be having court next Tuesday. It is not for sure yet, but sounding positive. That would be great as it would allow me to keep my current flight home. Now for the pictures which I know is what you really want to see.

This is my favortie photo and really needs no words. It is so good to see the girls playing together and happy and laughing. It has been a long trip to see the smile and laugh from Sasha, but she has been getting more and more comfortable with me. Leeza is now in the testing phase which is also good. She is trying to see how far she can go with mama. She really really wants my camera, but that is not allowed. She did throw a mini tantrum when I took it from her, but it only lasted about 10 seconds.
So today's game went like this, Mama gives Leeza the Winnie the pooh radio, Leeza gives it to Sasha, Sasha attempts to throw it past mama and have it hit the concrete with a loud thump, mama grabs wildly for the camera and catches it most of the time and then hands it back to Leeza to start all over again. Here Sasha winds up forthe throw.

The radio is about to be lauched.

And the launch of the radio with mama trying to take pictures with one hand and catch it with the other. Leeza was a very quiet child when we first met and she is now at times a very active happy girl. She seems to be teaching Sasha how to have fun and it is working.
The stickers go from Sasha to me to my shirt to Leeza to Sasha and repeat. Lots of smiles and laughs today.
