Defiant, Fearless...and a Little Sleepy

According to her foster mom, Si-Yeon (Elaina) hates hats. Here, we see first hand her attitude towards hats. It starts with a glare at the foster dad as he approaches with the hat. She fakes acceptance of the hat with her right hand, while the left snatches it away as soon as it's on. Don't worry, grandmothers--the foster mom bundles her up by wrapping another blanket over top of the bundle she's riding in. Her battle with the hat has made her sleepy, and she yawns as she settles in. Meanwhile, Heidi asks if she's been around cats or other animals or is scared of them, and her foster mom says that Si-Yeon's not a afraid of anything.
