We have made it through the first 10 days at home with only a few screaming and crying moments! Yes, Tian still throws a pretty good tantrum, but we can even boast that we ahd one tantrum free day and the other tantrums have been pretty short...Since I am always on borrowed time I will share the highlights:
- TJ set another personal best a his cross country meet - the 5k in 17:10 ( I think I ran the mile in that once)
Tian is FINALLY sleeping through the night and so am I ( big happy dance here)
- It is totally untrue that a child under 2 and an adopted child cannot spoiled within 3 weeks of meeting her family
- Tian's favorite activity of the week - standing a shouting on the coffee table - especially when we are reading
- Tian's other tricks of the week : shouting for a baba - which means any type of food especially what you are eating , she can say mama, dad, baba and boh ( her interpretation of "boys"), teasing her brothers ( taking toys, pretending she wants a hug or to be held then running away), drinking out of a sippy cup ( When we met Tian she could not handle liquids that had not been thickened without gagging and choking and drooling it all out of her mouth ( no - I don't know what she was actually gagging on). She is working on the cup thing
- We have all fallen hopelessly in love with this naughty little girl - especially her brothers. They still argue over who can rescue her from her crib even if she isn't crying.
We have shown our house this past week and had it filmed for a home highlight show of homes for sale... and had another looker on Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed for us. We will be heading to WI some time the weekend of October 28 - 29. So life is still insane, but good. I'll keep you posted -
Tara
