Patience is coming alive!  She is obviously feeling very well and is becoming goofy.  It's such a blessing to see their characters coming out and getting to know them!   She is smiling so much more now and even is giggling often today.
Georgette knows who Dora is!  English things she has learned at the orphanage that we've heard her say:  Count to 10, ABC's, children's Bible songs. And now she is learning words from us: "don't touch" and "sorry" were her favorite today\
Earlier today a driver for someone else came to the guest house. He greets the girls and then explains to me that G has just asked him if she can ride in his car with him.  NO NO!   She goes up and greets anyone. I love the her friendliness, but she has to learn that everyone is not her papa and mama and that not everyone is safe. Total orphanage syndrome.  But was hard was it was to see her cry when Les left, it was a good sign.
Putting stickers in her French book. Hindsight, we should have brought an English one along. Guess this French one will be for us\ Eveb though they speak Lingala, they understand French. In the earlier part of their life, they spoke French in Lubumbashi.
