Remarkable Ariana

Ari has been with us two weeks today (I'm not going to try to figure out the time difference; we met her two Mondays ago). She's walking very well, eating better, and exploring with confidence. She is learning English quickly. She clearly understands Ari, Ariana, Mama, Daddy, come 'ere, up, bottle, kisses, diaper, shoe, and eye with no extra cues. Still, it was a surprise this evening when we told Gabrian he needed a diaper (he, of course, disagreed--his m.o. for the week), and Ari went over and brought us a diaper. She brought one of hers, not Gabrian's, but still. . . pretty impressive.
