We didn't take many photos today, just hung around and tried to get to know each other, figure things out and get some rest.
After a fitful night for Mira Fu Xi, the girls woke up and spent some time in the morning together. The first thing Seneca asked when she woke up in the morning was "where baby go?". Seneca has been amazing, curious, gentle and fairly cooperative. Of course, she is having difficulties here and there, but, overall she is handling things much better than we would have expected.
On the other hand, Mira Fu Xi is a bit scared of Seneca and doesn't like her to get too close. We need to give her time.
Mira is responding well to everyone, but is clearly in distress and grieving for her previous life. She has moments of calm where we get a glimpse of a smile or some curiosity as she looks deeply at you. Then, in the next moment, she is quivering and she wrings her little hands together and puts her finger to her pouty bottom lip. She hasn't really had a good cry yet, just some soft whimpering and almost silent sobbing. It is heartbreaking to watch her go through this, but over time, things will get better as she gets more comfortable with us.
Again, photos from iPhone. I promise we have more and better ones, but this is what we could handle for today!
