Exactly What the Doctor Ordered

One quick picture from yesterday that I just love...

 Today was our first full day at home, and as Daddy had meetings today, Eva and I were alone most of the day.  Christopher works at home, so it's somewhat unusual for him to be gone.

We slept until after 9:00 - with no nurses or x-ray techs or phlebotomists coming in to disturb our sleep - so nice!!


This morning she helped me make eggs - she cracked and poured, and I cooked.  We ate together and talked about her time in the hospital - she said that she didn't want to leave yesterday because everyone was so nice to her.  I think that she thrived on all the attention.


After breakfast we played with Lily, her American Girl doll.  Lily has curly - very curly - red hair, and keeping it under control is a daily challenge we have.  Today I finally convinced her to let me give Lily ponytails.  She dressed her in a matching outfit, and we went for a walk around the house in her stroller.  

After playing with Lily, I installed Eva in my bed with her laptop so that I could take a shower.  She doesn't like to be alone in the house - she even follows me into the laundry room.  She played on the American Girl website, and watched videos of Selena Gomez while I showered.  She looks so comfortable in this picture - the photos taped to her laptop are of her "orphanage sister," Elise, who was adopted at the same time as Eva was.

We had a quiet day together - exactly what the doctor ordered.
