What a busy but very fun day we had. The girls woke up around 10 AM and by 11 AM today, we got to go to a children's play at the local theater for which my mom works for.
The play was called "The Land of Happiness" and it was obviously in Romanian...a cute little plot featuring lots of animals and songs.
There were a TON of kids there with their teachers and we were lucky enough to have front row seats. I was worried that the girls might not get much out of it but to my surprise, they absolutely understood the story line and engaged in clapping and dancing to the songs.
Also, we got to see a bunch of my mom's friends from work and met some of the actors as well who came to introduce themselves to the girls.
This afternoon after another really long nap, my mom and sister and I took the girls to one of the local parks for some outdoor fun. Audrey had her worst meltdown since we got here. I know she must be feeling pretty weird sometimes having been thrown into a totally different environment. She is going through this phase where she can't have anyone else touch her, hold her hand, help her, even look at her. It all has to come from me. I have to say I hope she gets over it and starts enjoying this time with her "buni".
Other than that, I'd say they had a great time at the park. It never ceases to amaze me the capacity that they have to make friends, even in foreign countries where they obviously can't speak the language.
The moment we got to the park, they were surrounded by so many kids, every one of them more curious than the other to find out a bit about our girls, where they come from, what their name is, how old they are...and since English is a compulsory class here in Romania, most of them will actually storm their brain and you can see them trying to put together a sentence...something that they wanna ask the girls or tell them. It is so cute. I love it.


Audrey's sweet little very concerned face in every photo is quite adorable. Her expression says it all.. overwhelmed, perhaps. I am sure that face will soon be beaming with JOY as she has more FUN and adapts. Seriously.... what a wonderful experience for you girls. Next time, take me with you! ;) And... keep blogging!!
