OK...we are now getting over the chicken pox in the Rovang home. Hannah is really scabbed 0ver and we are looking forward to seeing her beautiful unpoxed skin really soon. I can't wait as we have not been able to have a family photo since the airport...and that was not pretty after 20+ hours of traveling for 3 of us.
I am so thankful that we are finally getting over the transition period. Molly (Mahlet) was perfectly fine sleeping in her room by herself the first couple of nights back home. She then required her little sister (Hannah) to sleep in the trundle bed next to her. Hannah decided after a few nights that she wanted to sleep in her own room...Molly didn't like this at all so we moved a mattress into Hannah's room. That went OK until this past Saturday. When I think Molly (Mahlet) really just broke down and grieved. This poor girl has lost her bio parents, her country, her language just to name a few things. She has been just the happiest girl throughout the day but bedtime has been a nightmare. She has just cried and wanted mommy to sleep with her...which I did. But I refused for this to become a habit so last night we had a good break through. We prayed together...I in English....Molly in Amharic...and sleep was had for all parties involved.
Blessings,
Bliss
