Elle's papers came today - and they show she is officially a citizen of the United States. She also got a letter from President Bush (no, I didn't see any misspelled words, but I wouldn't be surprised) welcoming her to our country. You'll see three photos above. The first two are of the Citizenship Certificate and the third is with Bush's letter. We've already re-adopted her in our state even though its not technically required. This will get her a new birth certificate. Once that arrives, we can go apply for her social security card. Don't you love U.S. Government red tape?
She also went to the babysitter all day today - for the first time. She did well and only cried for a little while after Daddy dropped her off. She's going a hundred miles an hour tonight, so we know she is doing fine.
Alex is convinced that she spelled her name for him this evening while she was watching him do his homework. Evidently, she seemed to think he was writing her name on the paper, so HE CLAIMS she said "E, L, L, E, Elle" while she was pointing at the page. I don't know because she didn't do it again when we tried a second time.... She is smart, but Alex also has a very vivid imagination.
Here's hoping your week is a good one as ours has started off pretty great!
