A day with a princess

Today we had our first breakfast with Abbie. All she wanted to do was sit in Mommies lap! She won’t leave her side ☺. Katie went into the bathroom and she said "Mama" and really wanted Katie to appear!
She spent some time coloring and then it was off to the adoption office again. This time to formalize the adoption! We stamped a red fingerprint over our signatures and Abbie put her footprint on the document.
We came back to the hotel and ordered room service and the beef was so spicy. Abbie did not even seem to notice. She really is a spicy girl!
At 3:00 it was time for Wal Mart. Now that was an experience! Katie joined me midway through shopping since Abbie had fallen asleep on the bus ride over. You should have seen me trying to buy baby supplies on my own; other Moms in the group felt sorry for me and were a great help. We bought Abbie a pink stuffed mouse and tennis set as well as crackers and other snacks.
We got back just in time for dinner with the entire group. Everyone seems to be doing well for being parents for only 24 hours. We were very surprised when Abbie grabbed her chopsticks and started using them at dinner!
It’s 10PM here and we just got Abbie to sleep. It has been a long day, so it’s off to bed for us as well!
