Giggles and Grins

Giggles and Grins

I feel terrible, but Oksana did not want to eat anything last night for dinner. It must be the southern mama in me. I just wanted to get her fed, clean from traveling, and in a warm comfy bed. I think she was exhausted. We all were. So after a try at dinner it was bath time. 

A common occurrence with kids is lice. Especially in the orphanages or on the planes. Kids like to share all of these great things. I was prepared with shampoo etc. I did a quick spot check, and didn’t see anything. After her shower I combed all the kids hair, and still saw nothing. What a relief! For her too! 

Oksana woke up this morning in a smiling happy mood. We tried some Yogurt and that was a no go. We tried banana and got a Yes!  Then we tried some wholewheat toast and nutella!!!!! We had another winner!!! Anyone that knows our family well knows that we LOVE Nutella. Probably a little too much!

We headed to the pool after breakfast! Now that is how you bring the Grins and Giggles out!!!

Here are some things she tried today:

                Salt-Nay

                Baked Potato-Ate it all including the skin

                BBQ Sauce-Liked it with Chicken

                Ice Cream-A funny face at first, but LOVES it with Chocolate ice cream

We also learned about the ice maker and water out of the fridge!!! Oh how much it is to see her face light up!!

We spent the day at the pool swimming and laughing. Oksana is a great swimmer with just enough caution!
