The Trip- Day Three

Thursday
     We had another good day. Aunt Mary and I both slept better last night, but we are still adjusting. I figure by the time we get adjusted, it'll be time to leave. That's life!
     Grace was a little more active today. We had two other families from another agency come "share" our room today so there were five babies and ten adults in one HOT room. Too much activity for wild child. She seems to get overstimulated quite easily. She likes to be in the know (who does that sound like) and she likes people. She goes to just about anyone.
     This morning she did sit in my lap for a little while and let me play with her. She is "melting" into me a little more. Before she would hold herself stiff, but would let you hold her. She also would not let me put her on her back. Today I actually cradled her and held her close. 
     Today we took the children to have their passport pictures made. Did I mention that the room we are in is HOT. We sweat so much. When we got back from lunch, they told us we would go for the photos around 3:00 pm. At 3:00 pm, Megol came in with huge snowsuits for the babies. It was 65 degrees outside. But, we put the snowsuits on and off we went. Megol came with us and she was actually the one who took the babies into the photo place for their photos. It was quick and then back to the babyhouse.
     Grace liked riding in the car and she behaved very well. I think that she likes to see new things and this was an adventure! She did very well and her passport pictures are cute!
    The other babies are great too. We see them all change every day as they become more comfortable with us and they get individual attention. Grace is calming down and Zhanna Miller seems to be getting more active. Adam Schemmer is just as cute as can be. All three children seem to be developing crawling and moving skills right before our eyes.
     We all are getting more and more attached and it is harder to leave them every day. It won't be long and wild child will be at the apartment with us. I miss you all and hope that things are going well. She is going to bring a lot of life to our lives soon.
