Today was our last full day at the welfare house. It was bittersweet. We don't know what children, if any, we will see tomorrow. It will be hard to say goodbye when we are leaving a good chunk of our heart here.
We started the day by helping the older children make wontons.
Lara and Miranda in their cute aprons and gloved hands!
The nannies showed us how to fold the wontons and we got to work. The kids were so focused and proud of their work. I loved working side by side with them!
This boy has been one of the quieter boys but he stayed close by us today.
We made mountains of wontons!
The kids LOVED eating them....as did we! For the kids, it was their lunch, for us it was a mid morning snack.
After wontons, it was baby feeding time. I joined Lara and Miranda in their room this time. I missed seeing my babies but enjoyed meeting some new babies. One baby in that room was jus gorgeous. Her special need is that she was a premie and has a birthmark on her leg. Unfortunately we are not allowed to take pictures in the baby rooms and I never saw her at any other point.
After lunch and the much loved rest period, we spent time in the Angel room again. I was thrilled to find Sweet Baby Girl there! I tried to get a picture of her hands.
This doll has been matched with an American family. He is a charmer and they are one lucky family to be getting this handsome guy!
This little girl did not cry when she saw me today as she's done every day so far!
In fact, she was brave enough to come over and PLAY with me today! Both of these sweet girls have been matched as well.
This sweetheart still hasn't given me a smile but didn't cry and let me okay with her....as long as her twin was nearby!
That's it for now. Lots of individual stories to still tell.
