Adjusting...

"Baba, what have you done to my hair? I don't really think I like this."
One more shot of how long her hair has gotten. I can't wait until it grows a little longer so I can do more with it. It is so thick! Now, onto the adjusting...

Lily has spent two days with Cindy now. Yesterday, Lily refused to take a nap. I mean, actually refused. She shook her head and told Cindy "uh-uh." She was not going to take a nap, period. Of course, eventually, she did sleep for a little while in the afternoon. But, she slept on Cindy- not in a bed. She wouldn't go to the potty at all, and she wouldn't drink any milk. Today, she cried all morning. She wouldn't even look at Cindy, and even Sesame Street didn't make her feel better. She fell asleep early on today and took a 2 1/2 hour nap... on Cindy again. She had a better afternoon, but still gave Cindy a hard time. Cindy is so sweet and honest about what happens during the day. She understands that Lily has had a lot of adjustments over the past couple of weeks. It has been really hard on her, and it is starting to show. However, there have been no more tantrums. That has been wonderful. Regardless, I believe that Lily is just waiting to see if Cindy is going to stick around. She knows what it feels like to have people leave her, and it takes her awhile to trust people. I am thankful that Cindy is so kind and sweet that she is going to give this adjustment period some time. I am hopeful that Lily will settle in and enjoy her time with Cindy very soon. Please pray for our Lily and for Cindy, too.
