We had a good day yesterday. She finally tolerates us without fear and is comfortable approaching us, not jumping in our arms but better than Monday. They also took her for her visa picture yesterday. The visits are long in a small room 8 x 8 and about 90 degress!!!! We also discovered the 12 month clothes are too short, they fit her around the waist. It will be interesting to see what the 18 month clothes are like this morning. The nurses dress her in the clothes we bring which is a nice gesture. We will get 2 visits today then head back to Sofia. We also discovered she loves music!!!! She likes twinkle twinkle little star and patti cake but she lit up when I asked the translator to sing a childrens song in Bulgarian, she even sang along!!!!! We bought a childrens cd last night and downloaded it to my iphone for today. Our driver will pick us up around 4:30. We are checking out of the hotel this AM.
I will say that the children in this orphanage are VERY well cared for and loved. There is plenty of warmth, food, and clothes. We did notice that she wore shoes about 1-1.5 sizes to big which could be the reason she is a little wobbly on her feet. We also found out the biggest need the home has is for diapers. We were able to make a small diaper donation this time and hope to have more for the second trip.
Once again thanks for all the love and support!!!!
