Day Three at Orphanage Number 5

Day three was a great visit with Takhmina.  We brought some Russian shortbread style crackers that she rather enjoyed.  She didn't know what to do with them at first, but Jacki poked a little piece far enough in her mouth that she had to try and taste it.  A second's worth of being unsure, and then she realized it tasted pretty good.  Several crackers later and she was through.

Today Takhmina was totally comfortable with us.  She played with blocks and rattles, and was throwing toys back and forth with both Jacki and myself.  Near the end of our visit she even decided to show off her walking skills and took a romp around the playroom.

It's pretty late and I'm tired so I will be lazy and just post a bunch of pictures.  Tomorrow I promise to post some videos.  Takes a bit of processing time to create the movies from the Flip movie clips.  One is generating right now, but I'm not going to make it through the whole bunch.  :)  Anyway, enough with the excuses and on to the pictures:
