Blackwell's Adoption Journey

Low key day

We had a pretty low key day today.  We really wanted to get some gifts at the weekend market, and since it's Sunday, this was our last chance!  We braved it again for another shot at some deals.  We got there early, so there really was not too many people there.  We bumped into a couple from France who adopted a little girl last week as well!  It was nice chatting with them. 
Norah has seemed a little better with me today, but is still all about her dad.  I actually really love that it's him she is most secure with.  It really is a picture of the Father adopting us into His family.  What is making me break down is the intensity of missing Will, who is my sweet affectionate boy, and trying to not take Norah's rejection personal.  I have loved this girl for a year in my heart.  Logic and reason tell me this is normal, do not worry, she will eventually love me.  It's just hard right now.  We are missing home.
We think she had some sort of allergic reaction today.  Norah had a 2+ hour nap this afternoon, and woke up with hives all over her leg.  They went away, but we have no idea of the cause.  We found some benedryl at the store, but the rash was gone before we even gave it, so oh well... the benedryl will probably be of much help on the flight home!
We have been entertaining her with a youtube Thai Elephant song that she loves!
I am trying to upload the video of her and Sam dancing, but I don't think it's working... sorry folks.  Maybe I'll try again tomorrow!!
