Hi! Emma is just darling! What a sweet little girl!! You are doing a great job...it is surreal isn't it? SO smart to get treasures in China, because Rob travelled solo with a friend, we do not have some of those things I would love to have for our little cutie. Just for reference, Hannah woke up crying for a long time, it does pass. And to this day, she is not a big eater, but she is an excellent eater (she would choose fruits and veggies over all other things!) Sometimes it is helpful to know others have been where you are and it looks different later. (There were days where that became huge for us.)
What a beautiful family! Sorry you had a rough night. Sounds like Emma could have been overtired. She could be physically tired from exerting herself all day. She can't figure out how to unwind enough to either rest or drift off to sleep. I hope you were able to get her blanket, that may help settle her a bit. You could always try a warm bath before bedtime. Kids should come with handbooks. Parenting is a challenge! Your doing great!
You all look like naturals together. :) Love seeing all the pictures!
