Natalie has been an amazing trooper. She must be mourning the loss of everything she knew, but she has hardly shown it. They love her so much at her orphanage. It makes our job as her parents so much easier. Yet my heart breaks a little that it even has to be like this at all. She has so much potential. It is so unfortunate that her parents didn't see it! Now we get to tap into it! So, right now the 2 hardest things are getting her to sleep, and telling her no. As for the second of those, I think it is a combination of not understand our language and just plain bring "stubrun" as Bobby would say! I am warning you now... Watch your hair and your glasses. Taylor has been so patient about her hair being yanked out of her head, I am very proud of her. It was so funny, tonight the girls, who have been bragging to everyone about all the caregiving they plan on taking on, got one whiff of our first dirty diaper and changed their tunes so fast, they ran the other direction.
Also, today we went to the Sofia Zoo which was.... interesting. We went to the mall, and I finally gave in and bought us some clothes. Alitalia better be paying me back for them, 5 days missing luggage is RIDICULOUS! All those cute Matilda Jane outfits I had for Natalie!! Ugh. We also took Natalie down to the pool, which is about half fun because everyone must wear a swim cap to get in and when our dirty feet stepped into the pool room we got reprimanded, by the pool nazi for not putting footies on before we walked in!
This is exhausting as predicted! Good night everyone!
