Whew, it's been exhausting around here...but good : ) We spent all weekend with our little girl, returning her to the orphanage in the evenings to feed her dinner. Dinner has been my most stressful time, trying to force-feed a 3 year old who has trouble eating because of her teeth is not my favorite thing to end a long day with... and that while sitting at a little table with about 20 other 3 and 4 year olds, all yelling for attention or alternately spilling their soup and crying. My hat is off to the women who work there every day...wow. C eats beautifully for us, we are able to cut up her food really tiny so that chewing isn't an issue and basically feed her all day long when she lets us. She is super small...the orphanage put an 18 month outfit on her today that fits pretty perfectly. She'll be 4 in just a couple of weeks!
Yesterday's party lasted about 4 hours. C stayed at the orphanage last night after since she was beyond exhausted and hadn't had anything but chocolate and candy to eat--not sure about the wisdom of the party for our process with C but the people at the orphanage were very happy.
As of today, C stays with us, tonight will be her first time to stay over. The Lord is giving her such peace. He has given her such a sweet spirit...we have had a couple of fits (very short-lived) and yesterday afterward her Papi talked with her and told her to come to me and ask forgiveness. She came over and hugged and kissed me. I was fighting tears. God is so good! Thank you for your prayers.
Oh, my what a precious face. Very happy tht things are going well....sending prayers your way!
