Today has been a good day! To think that last Wednesday there was still quite a bit of head banging and hitting herself....(not sure if those are comfort things, or learned things...) but they are subsiding thankfully!! She's definitely bonding well with us. Sunday night she had some alone time with Albert, and I think it was definitely trial by fire....they had such a rough time..(I think she is used to a female caregiver) however, since then, every time Albert walks into a room after being gone, she gives him the biggest smile and will often run to him! It's so adorable!
It's funny, you can definitely tell that our family has had an adjustment...our usually fairly quiet days are now full of noise, laughter, some crying, some chaos...but are definitely full full days! Currently, Everyone is napping except me. That's right. A is sleeping for her nap and Micah and Albert are having an impromptu nap on the couch while they were supposedly watching Thomas the Train. It's now playing and the two of them are sound asleep.... Me I'm waiting for my coffee to be done to get me through the end of the day! Albert has been hanging out around the house for the past few days...working from home, or going to work in the afternoon to help with the adjustment and to continue to bond with A. It's been quite the adjustment...and at times very overwhelming, but we are coming along. We have our good moments and bad moments...but generally every day gets a little better.
I'm so glad that it is summer as A loves to play outside...put her in front of some water and she is all the way in. The outside has definitely helped me out a lot....although a fence would be helpful as A also loves to run....it's hilarious cause she runs in such a toddler way, while shaking her head....pretty sure she's going to fall over every time she does it!
Well that's about it for now I guess...probably should get some stuff done....our house has definitely seen better days.....well better in terms of tidy...however it is much fuller now and that is an amazing gift! Our yellow farm room has it's occupant now! :)
Here's a verse I found last night that I liked so I'll leave you with it! (so glad that our God goes before us :)
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
~Deuteronomy 31:8~
