This morning marked a new milestone for us. When we went to take Mariah back to the caretakers, she did not want to leave us. This was the first time this has happened. We are hoping this is a good sign and that she is beginning to trust us and look forward to our time with her. It will be an amazing thing when we actually get to take her with us out of the orpahage. This visiting time each day has been a good opportunity to get to know each other. I hope it will make our transition home much easier. The boys are learning how to play with her. She seems to be reaching out to them more and more as the days go by. One thing I noticed about Mariah today is that she sure does have a lot of attention span for a child her age. I brought her a new toy, okay it was really a plactic egg carton. We put rocks in each of the sections for her. She probably played with that for twenty five minutes or so. That seems amazing to me. We sure got good use out of that egg carton! We have also been playing a game where we hum a tune and the rest of the family has to "Name that tune!" It is so cute that she starts to hum along with us. We are truly blessed.
