Things Are Lookin' Up

Our first night with Ming went amazingly well. We're a little reluctant to tell our new found adoptive friends because it is hard to believe that they had such good nights. After Ming fell asleep in her stroller last night, I placed her in the crib around 7:30pm. She slumbered peacefully there the entire night. She let out a couple of whimpers, but nothing close to crying. By six this morning we were all wide awake -- except for Ming. I made coffee and we sat in bed chatting softly while Ming slept. Finally she stirred, kicked off her covers, and opened her eyes. Linda picked her up and we spent some time just sitting with her. After a bottle, she sat up in the middle of the bed and played with a comb, our AT&T calling card, and a plastic soda container.
Levi is entertaining Ming right now as Mommy gets ready so we can go to breakfast here at the hotel. A little later we are going to go for a stroll out on the boulevard. It has the makings of being a lovely day.
