Yes, you read that right...we are home. The house was decorated by Tish, Dawn, Vicky, Allie and Laura's mom. Welcome home indeed. This will be a short post...so much to say and just not enough energy to type it all.
This is definitely going to be a process. We're guessing that a lot of her actions/reactions have been bred into her at the orphanage. She can be a very mature little girl and in the blink on an eye, she's a 2 year old. We had a couple of meltdowns on the plane. VERY noisy! She drank a lot of water so every 20 minutes I was taking her to the bathroom.
We have to work hard on what we will accept from her...destructive or violent are not the words I would grab, however, there seem to be a couple of flashes of that every now and then. Again, more on that later. We want to discipline her, but on the other hand, I don't want the only words she hears from us to be "NO."
It's going to take quite some time to download the camera. Once the pics are in, I will put a bunch on the blog so patience, everyone!
Good night...thanks for all the prayers and support.
