We just got back to our room from breakfast. Elsie did very well last night. Tamra put her down at about 8:30 pm and she slept soundly until 6:00 am. Just like her orphanage schedule stated. Elsie wants only to be held by Tamra at this time. She is very shy and timid and has not said one thing to us. Elsie will just looks at us with those big eyes of hers (they are huge, in a beautiful way) and try to figure out what is going on. She will cry if Tamra walks away as she did when Elsie's nanny dropped her off at the adoption center. The nanny would hide around the corner out of Elsie's sight. When Elsie caught of glimpse of her nanny, she would let out this soft cry. It is kind of sad, but also good to know that she possibly had formed a emotional bond with someone at the orphanage. Elsie ate really well at breakfast. She had some fruit and some congee, which is rice porridge. Think of it as 5 minute rice boiled for an hour with a lot of salt. Got to go now. All of our adoption group is headed out to the airport and we need to say some goodbyes and exchange some emails. Today we will be changing our hotel. We are going to stay in the Victory Hotel on Shamain Island. It is about half the price of where we are at now.
Elsie looks so sweet...love that huge bow! She is just checking you all out, glad she is eating and sleeping well. Day by day her trust will grow. So wonderful you can post updates and pictures.
