Nadia quotes

I thought I would do a quick post with Nadia quotes for those of you who don’t see my Face book status updates.

  • In our Gotcha Video I hand Nadia her “yellow baby” which turned out to be her favorite comfort toy. We wanted to get something for her little sister and this weekend we let her pick one out at Target. She also picked out the matching blanket. Then she said, “And I want to hand it to my sister in China.” (I got a little teary since she wanted to do the same thing for her sister that I did for her)
  • One day last week Nadia announced “it’s a perfect day to go outside!”  So I sent her out into the backyard. When the neighbor dogs barked at her she barked back.
  • Nadia was biting her pretzels into numbers. She would say, “here is a 2 here is a 3”
  • Nadia was looking for something and all of sudden she yells out, “Great Scott! I don’t know where it is.”
  • Grammie came over for a playdate and I went to introduce a mentor. When I got back Nadia said, “I had so much fun I forgot about you!”
  • While eating dinner one night Nadia said, “No soup for you!” to Mike. She was the only one with soup and has never seen Seinfeld, but we cracked up laughing.

Museum School – Rabbit & Opposum Day

This was Nadia’s third week of Museum school on Friday mornings. On the way she said, “Is museum school 2 hours?” Yes I said. Then she said, “It goes too fast!”

Here she is on the first day.

Introducing Mu Rong Wang Lei

We got our pre approval to adopt from China. Our documents will go through review and now we are waiting on our Letter of Approval (LOA) which is the official approval. I told Nadia that China said that we can adopt her and she said, “I’m so excited! YEAH!!!” (insert fist pump)

Her DOB is 6.6.2009 and she is from Ningxia which is a province in the north (see below).

Ningxia

Here is a little more information:

Living in the Children’s Welfare Institute in Ningxia, China

(it’s in the north close to Mongolia; rural farming area; grows wolfberries, known as goji berries in America)

As of her medical review she could crawl and cruise. It says she is a deep sleeper and eats 5 times a day and likes all kinds of food.

Also that she is shy, fond of listening to music, has a ready smile, fond of quietness, energetic, fond of playing games, close to her caretaker and the other children in the institution.

And my favorite quote from her growth report:

“she is delicate, clever and lovely, very pretty”

We are so thrilled and look forward to bringing her home to be a part of our family!!! Thanks everyone for your prayers and support. God is so good!
