We pick the little ones up six months ago. The first two pictures are of now and then.
The siblings have all grown to have your typical brother/sister, love/hate relationships. It finally feels that we have a balance and a new normal has set in around our home. They are both doing great with school, language, friends, and family. Their attachments are growing stronger every day. Kai still prefers mommy and Naveia still has her moments when she plays the reject mommy and see if she will stick around game. We just keep loving them and standing firm. This is our forever family through the good and the bad.
September is the month of the tooth around here. First Zane finally lost his 1st tooth and then 2nd tooth two days later.
The next week Naveia lost her 1st tooth.
Then finally this week Kai had his dental surgery. He had nine stainless steel crowns put in. He is not a happy at all with what the doctors put in his mouth. It is hard to explain to him that they are making it better when it does not feel better.
We took a family trip to the zoo.
I met with teachers for the yearly p/t conference. Naveia's teacher just loves my child. She gave her and E (excellent) for conduct (behavior). That made me very happy because she does not receive and E at home, or in dance class, so I was a bit surprised. She has turned her behavior a full circle since coming home but there are still issues that we see daily. Also I guess she is the "popular" girl in kindergarten. All the kids want to be her friend and play with her but she also tells them when to back up and give her some space. Oh yeah, her academics are right on target if not advanced, but honestly we already knew that. She is so amazing from where she has come from.
