It has been an adventure...sometimes not one for the faint of heart. Linzi shocked me when we first met her. Her reports were off..so much so that I would say they were completely wrong! She was/is much more delayed than what we had even expected. They said that she was basically independant. That was a stretch of the truth. They said she could go up and down the stairs by herself, that is true IF you have a long time to wait for her to do so. She has very poor balance. I can now see why she had bruises in her updated referral photos...she falls a LOT! I have developed much stronger arms from holding her hand and keeping her from falling most of the time. When she runs around in our room..she falls many times a day. She can almost fall over her own shadow! No joke! She is very head strong and wants to do things herself. She did not know how to use silverware or chopsticks. She has learned to use a spoon to shovel food in her mouth, she is working on the fork. She can not eat without making a total mess...kind of like a toddler. When she plays, she does things over and over again...in a repetition pattern. She says the same things over and over again. She does remember doing things and will repeat those to our guides. She has no where to go but up from here. She is very loving and quite the tease. She is super cute and was super spoiled by her nannies.
We are in Hong Kong at the airport Marriott. Tomorrow morning very early we will board the first of several planes which will finally bring us home to Kansas.
Looking forward to the rest of her sisters meeting her and ready to get unpacked and things put away!!
