This is Michelle's dad posting the blog today. Michelle is busy playing with Malia before bed. At 3:00 today she picked up Malia and everything went great! Whew! Malia was the perfect little girl. She only cried a little when she saw the Orphanage caregiver, but got over it quickly. She devoured the Cheerio's that were brought with and already had a smile before we left. We took her to Lucy's and she loved apple juice and won't put down the sippy cup. She also ate some rice and was really smiling after that. They did warn Michelle that she likes to eat. A quick stop at the Swan Room to play went well with a big interest in the noisy, light-up toys. She's getting droopy eyes now at 8:00 so she's working on getting her to sleep soon.
The most beautiful blog post in the whole world!!!!
