Week Four!

We have had a fairly good week so far! Hard to believe it has been a month! O just got her official social security card! Yea! Now she can get a job! haha!
O has been testing the waters a bit this week! She had a major meltdown on Wednesday when we went to storytime at the library... she did NOT want to leave! I had to carry her out of there kicking and screaming - it was quite pleasant! Then, for the first time - she did the "you can't strap me in" thing in the car seat! Quite pleasant as well! Oh well! Her comprehension of language had really improved, but like any 2 year old - the word "no" is pretty much ignored! She can be really demanding of your attention at times - it is almost funny how she will walk up and pat your leg wanting to tell you or show you something....She is slowly learning the names and words for certain things... she has been trying to say her brothers names, and she is sort of close - but an outsider would not be able to figure out what she is saying! She continues to harass poor PJ the dog, the chasing him around with laundry baskets and her wagon has worn his patience out! He likes to get up on our bed to "hide" from her - since that is the only place she can't get to him!
Yesterday, she got to spend the day with her cousin, Georgie, who is 3 1/2... they did ok together.. the beginning was tough, as she is not used to someone who refuses to let go of her toy when she screams! Unlike her brothers, her cousin was fine with the screaming and would carry on as if it was nothing!
We are working on her bedroom, still trying to decide if we will leave her in a toddler bed, or move up to the big bed!
Overall - the month home has been good.. it has gone fast! We are thankful for our littlest angel! She has made the last two years plus of waiting finally seem worthwhile!
