I made it to Landia yesterday! And I got to meet the girls today and bring them back to my apartment here. We met the girls in the morning, had a break and lunch, in the early afternoon went to court, and then went back to the orphanage to pick up the girls. They asked me if I wanted to take the girls this afternoon or tomorrow so that I could get ready. Tomorrow probably would have been the logical choice, but I went with my heart instead.
Beach balls and bubbles have been a hit so far. They just fell asleep after I made a rookie mistake of giving them too much liquid before going to bed. Faith already used her little potty, apparently I am not waiting until we get back to the States to potty train as the orphanage asked that I continue to put them on the potty at regular intervals to not undo their work.
So far they have been so quiet and rather shell shocked. I am waiting for the "scandels" as my translator called them. They are definitely shy and somewhat reserved. I am guessing that Hope will have a harder time attaching. I haven't gotten any laughs out of her and scarcely a smile either and she definitely avoids eye contact.
