Bedtime, sweet dream precious little one!
Exhausted Girls!! It was a long day!
Jenna, for now, seems to be a little timid and reserved but knows how to communicate when she does not want to do something by shaking her head no. After her bath, I layed her on the bed with her baby, panda bear and blanky and she just layed there for about 30 minutes, no fuss, and just went to sleep. So far, she is a very easy baby. I have heard so many horror stories about babies crying for days due to be so scared of the changes, but she is already smiling at - we are so blessed and so thankful for our girls.
I tried to put her on the potty (western potty like we have at home) but she did not like that at all. The kids in the orphanage are only use to little potties that sit on the floor. The director tells us that she is potty trained - however, she is adult trained, which means, the nannies put the children on the potty after they have a bottle or eat and the children have to sit there until they go.
Will post more tonight.
Thank you all for your encouraging words and prayers.
