We have Botox and a roof but no travel approval...

Still no travel approval!  Some Details Moms on Facebook have created these very helpful and very overwhelming spreadsheets to track how long each step of the adoption process takes.  All parts were moving very quickly after the CCCWA re-opened after Chinese New Year, but TA is slowing down some.  I guess that gives us more time to plan, except for that we don't know exactly what to be planning for...

Eva had her third set of Botox injections in Kansas City on Friday.  We got up around four that morning.  She is such a champ.  She had her lateral triceps, quads, big toes, plantar flexors, traps, and lower paraspinals injected.  She woke up wanting her momma, but other than that she was a calm, happy camper.  And Saturday, she very calmly told me that her muscles were sore and that she liked Tylenol and Advil.  Hallelujah.  Eva's speech has progressed so well.  One would naturally assume that after injections muscles would be sore and some children's tylenol would be in order, but it's so awesome for Eva to be able to communicate that clearly.


Also, our house is mainly roofed.






In between our crazy house building errand running today, Eva and I had a coffee date at Barnes & Noble.  Gotta stop and smell the roses, you know?  Fun times with that gal.  She's such a delight.
