Day 4 - A very long visit!

So I mentioned before that we would go to the orphanage from 9-12 and then feed her lunch. Well that has turned out to be way too long. We were at the orphanage for 4 hours today and we had a ton of fun for about 2 hours and then she quickly became tired, hungry, thirsty, and hot....and so were we. We finally got to see that naughty we were told about :)! Really it wasn't even bad. Just what we would expect from a little girl testing her boundaries with some new grown ups who follow her around all day! We fed her lunch and then the caregivers forgot about us! Finally around 1 our facilitator said "I think they forgot about us, lets just take her back!" So after talking it over with our lawyer and facilitator we've decided to limit our visits to 2 hours. I told them that now that I have seen her eat and seen what she eats I don't feel it is necessary for us to feed her anymore so we are going to just play from about 10-12. We still didn't get to see the director today. Our facilitator said that tomorrow we will ask the social worker whatever we need to ask and not worry about the director. Our days here go by so fast! By the time we are finished with our visits we get lunch, explore a bit, call our kids, download pictures, etc, get dinner, and go to bed! It's so hard to believe we only have about 4 more days here. One more quick thing and then I'll post pictures and video...I posted video from yesterday this morning so be sure and check that out if you missed it.
