She has certainly been through a lot in her short time here. A nasty respiratory infection that took 3 weeks worth of antibiotics, steroids and breathing treatments, a horrible intestinal parasite (successfully treated), two trips to the lab for bloodwork, two stool sample collections (I'll spare you the details), and two dental appointments. She was scheduled to have 4 crowns and 2 fillings, but once the pediatric dentist got a good look, she determined that some fillings and re-surfacing would save her top 6 front teeth. Thank God!
Whew........now we are on to just settling in. Although that is going very well. She initiates family hugs. She says "I love you." She sleeps in her own bed at night. And she and her sister are getting along like, well, sisters! They both have very stubborn streaks, and are very independent and strong-willed. Makes for an interesting house! In fact, her first full English sentence was the other day......she informed Matt "Ababa, Sissy not be nice to me." Yikes. Today she announced "Sissy got in trouble." Let's just say they are very entertaining!
On to the next challenge. Getting AlinaJayne to sleep upstairs in their room all night. Aside from one night, she has been in our room every 1-2 hours all night, every night, while her new sister sleeps soundly upstairs.
On that note, I guess I'll stretch out in our bed all by myself. Matt gave in and went upstairs to sleep with the girls (AlinaJayne) after her second trip downstairs.
