Drawing with Apa

It's hard to believe Susan has been here two weeks already. She understands a lot of things we say, but doesn't carry on a conversation yet. We talked to her parents this morning, but she was sleepy because she had just waked up. I'm afraid it wasn't very satisfactory for them. She is standing in the blocks can now and watching Sesame Street.

She and Garrett love to draw together. He kept her twice over the weekend while I helped give a shower for a friend's daughter. I think they had a very good time, but he was tired when I got home.

Susan went with me to quilt Tuesday and Wednesday. She was overwhelmed at the quilt shop; too many people and too big. Wed. we went Patty's house. She had fun there. It was a home and fewer people. We went to Walmart and she chose a doll. I'll take a picture of them together. We also got 2 Sippee Cups and more diapers.

Saturday night the three of us went to the library; Susan picked out a ladybug book that has ladybugs to count. Afterwards we ate at Los Insurgentes. She was really hungry and had chips, chicken, rice, and flan. By the time we got to the grocery, we were all getting tired, but on the way home she told me she wanted to use the potty. It worked! It hasn't since.

Susan and Jillian were the center of attention during the children's sermon. Don asked the other kids what children need and how they can help them grow up. They had some good ideas. In the evening we went to the park again, but the mosquitoes bit through our repellent, so we went home soon to wash the repellent and the bites in the shower.
