My biggest concern taking Sofi out of the ashram was wondering how she would handle the peace and quiet. When I first met Sofi, she was only close to the ladies in the babies room as they were the ones looking after her. At that time, she was not close to the children. However, over the past 6 months, she has grown really close to the kids and loves to play with them and they all run around and have fun. Some of the time when I am not there, the kids kept her happy. So in taking her away and taking her "home" with me, I was worried that she would miss all that.
Luckily so far she has been absolutely fine. She is pretty adaptable that way as most little kids are. We think they need things a certain way, but they are great at just going with whatever is going on. We had a nice outing to the store yesterday and she liked that. Today we are going out again, as Sofi just likes being around people. The housekeepers here at my Uncle's house are just loving having her around. She is like a little princess here.
Also at the ashram Sofi realized her love of animals. The stray cat and her 2 kittens had been coming around for the last few months and Sofi just went crazy happy every time they appeared. Any irritation is usually calmed by shouting out "mow" and she runs to see them. Sofi also loves to pretend to be a cat, crawling on all fours, saying "mow" and waiting to be petted. At home here we hae 2 big dogs which she also likes... from a distance as they are a bit scary for her. We also had discovered Baby Einstein's neighbourhood animals DVD that she likes, so we also put on Animal Planet on the tv and she loves seeing anmals.
We are just waiting for the ashram to resolve some issues about which lawyer is to be appointed and then I will be trying to get the adoption case filed ASAP. Once the case is filed we will be shifting to my grandmother's house in Burail village in sector 45 of Chandigarh. I am looking forward to that and being in our own home finally.
