2nd day at the Orphange

We go to 'baby home' (as Sergie calls it) at 10 amagain. When we get there, the girls are on the playground and we get to spend time on playground with children. They are all so adorable and all of them want our attention. One little boy kept running up to Rich and when he would get his attention he would laugh and run away. Rich took out the bubbles and all the children started running after them and bumping into each other. It sounds terrible, but was very funny like something you would see on America’s Funniest Videos. We play with the three girls again. At the end of this time I am holding Dimples when Sergie tells us that she has never let anyone hold her for as long as I have been holding her. So that helped make the decision between her and G. Well not just that, it feels like she needs us more than G. G is much more independent than Dimples. When we returned at 4:00 we had Pixie and Dimples together in a small room upstairs. Dimples is a totally different child when alone with us, chattering the whole time and very active. Both girls play well together and laugh a lot. Most memorable is the two of them sitting on the couch laughing and playing with Rich. Pixie is very affectionate and giggles a lot. Dimples is bossy and takes toys away from Pixie; Pixie gets a little upset, then moves on. Even though Dimples chatters constantly, we only heard Pixie talk when looking out window at kids on playground. They both yell down at the kids down there.
