Mia

Last night, when Eliza was getting ready for bed I showed her some recent videos that were posted of Mia (one of the other little girls who was adopted from the same orphanage in our travel group to China).  She got so excited and started to point and say "ba-by."  Then she started to kiss the screen of the computer over and over again.  Unlike Jackson at her age, Eliza has been exposed to some television and the computer because it is difficult to keep her separate from Jackson and what he is watching.  Her reaction was really surprising because she's shown no interest in tv shows or videos -- just Mia.  What does she know? What does she feel?  Does she sense a connection? Instinctively she's responding to Mia in a different way than the other babies she sees.  Fascinating.
