Thursday November 3rd
The morning started out pretty similar to yesterday. We picked up the psychologist and headed over to the orphanage. Let me just say that the traffic here is absolutely ridiculous! Never, ever would I obtain a driver's license in Lima Peru. Seems to work for them but I have never seen a city so totally crazy at all times. The cars buzz out our window at all hours of the night.
Any ole' who....We arrive to see our little one dressed in all pink today! Too cute! She was playing around with all the kids when we peered through the window. We entered and she came to us but was completely paralyzed again. We had to start all over. :( So, we gave her the lady bug Keelan had sent for her and it had some bubbles with it. We went outside to show her those, only a little interested. But, we continue to just pass her back and forth and love on her, letting her know that we are here for the long run. We go and play with the other kids, on the little riding toys. She loosens a little. We help her with her lunch, that girl will eat ANYTHING!! I mean, ANYTHING! Because I would liken what was on her plate today to yellow cat puke on a bed of rice. OMG!! Anyways, right after lunch they always brush their teeth, go potty (which she does by herself) and wash their hands. Then...it's nap time for about an hour and a half. So we laid her down and then we went out to lunch for some more chicken and fries with Maria Elena and Raul. When we returned, she was sleepy getting up from nap-time and pretty shy again. Suddenly when the other kids were paying attention to mommy and daddy, she seemed to perk up!! Funny how that works. We gave her some “smarties” and she was sharing them with all her friends:) Soon, we decided to take her out and get her some new shoes. She loved to look all around at everything. Larry tried to get her to pick out a Barbie but she didn't choose one, yet!! She liked to ride on his shoulders on the way to the car:) When we got back, she was laughing so hard at daddy when he was tickling her and lifting her up in the air. Then he chased her all around the circle in the building and she just swung those little arms and laughed! She had relaxed, again.
And now it was time for us to say “Chau” again. Today she didn't cry. I went and washed her hands up for dinner and the house mom took her off to the kitchen.
Can't wait for tomorrow!:)
Missing our boys like crazy!!!
Love to all! Thanks for the prayers, keep'em coming!!
