Those are words I have never spoken until today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi Sojung ate her first meal today. Not her first American meal. That will have to wait. She ate her first meal in America. She didn't eat when we stopped for lunch yesterday on the way home from the airport. We went to friends for dinner and had wonderful Italian food. She ate nothing. We went to church and I was hoping she would finally be ready to eat breakfast in the cafe but no such luck. Luckly we attend a very diverse church and there were several Korean women in the cafe. One sweetly greeted Sojung and helped us translate. After finding out that Sojung has not "aquired her American stomach", Marcus took her to a Korean restaurant to eat. When they got back I asked him what she ate. He said, "The number 11." Whatever it was she came back with some color in her cheeks and a bounce in her step.
After church we went to Super H, a local Aisian market that has everything you can imagine and then some. Sunday is a good day to go because of SAMPLES!! We spent some time walking up and down the aisles finding comfort food for her. I know in time (at least I hope) she will develop a taste for our food. She did try some of the food I had for lunch. That is a start.
This is really turning out to be a learning experience on both sides, which is very fun.
I think she really enjoys her room. Marcus has a computer for her room and after he does a few more things on it we will move it in her room. Her face lit up when I told her she would have her own computer.
