We hit if off right away!
Back at the room, first of many smiles.
Brown goop on her head is treating her baby acne (like mom/like daughter) Traditional Chinese Medicine-style.
She seems to like us!
Helen ROCKS!She has four teeth that we've seen so far and a little bit of a cold. Thanks to Tracy for teaching us the awesome "Here comes the mouse, from the barn to the house..." that ends in tickling because it has been a ginormous hit with Helen. She laughed and laughed, every single time. It's hard to put in words what it was like for us when they called our name today. She looked at us with this expression like, "Well, I guess I'll go with you guys now. Whatya got?" It seems, so far at least, like she is in favor of all this. We couldn't be happier.
