Settling In

We apologize for the lack of blogging recently, but Scott’s been busy at work and we’ve been trying to get Bu Chou (our new foster child) settled in at home. Bu Chou arrived last Friday so she’s been with us for over a week now and is getting comfortable in her new surroundings.

She seems to be feeling pretty well after having brain surgery 2.5 weeks ago and doesn’t appear to be in pain. In fact, she spends most of the day smiling, singing, and repeating EVERYTHING Annie says. She answers questions when asked in Chinese, but when someone speaks English she just mimics the conversation.

Annie: “Bu Chou do you need to go potty?”
Bu Chou: (not having a clue what she’s saying): “Bu Chou you need go potty?”

Annie: “Say Hello.”
Bu Chou: : “Say Hello.”

Here are a few pictures:

This one was actually taken by Juliet (pretty good we thought for a 5 year old):
