We left for Children's Home today armed with more goodies. When we arrived she was sleeping - again!
She was not too happy to be woken up, but after a new book and a large beach ball she perked up!
We brought chocolate cakes as she asked us - spoiled already! We were amazed when she dipped her hand in the box, and proceeded to take a cake to every child before she took one for herself!
When she did finally eat hers it was obvious why she asked for chocolate!
Slowly she is starting to come to us. It is so hard not to scoop her up and kiss her, but we have to let her figure it out in her own time.
We had to cut the visit a little short today as we had our first appointment at the US Embassy. It was our first time venturing inside the Ring Road to the City Center and what a crazy ride it was. Traffic is unbelievable. Imagine a NYC taxi ride but on narrow unpaved roads with no rules, huge potholes and cows walking and crossing wherever they want! You see some very depressing sights!
Everything went well at the Embassy so now we are off to much needed happy hour!
Chocolate!! A girl after our own hearts. Wait till she learns about shoes and purses!! Raya is so adorable and just can't wait for hugs and kisses. I'm so glad that Aruna is taking such good care of you. Love Carol (Auntie)
