Sunday night

I would like to follow up with the earlier post I made. Anyssa is doing much better. BU seems to help a lot. When she starts to do something wrong, we yell BU! and she usually stops. If she is doing something she shouldn't, we yell BU HAO! which is BAD!. If SHE is bad, we yell BU HAO WA WA! which is BAD GIRL! She seems to enjoy hearing the NO like she finds some comfort in the limits we are setting for her. We KNOW this a very, VERY rough time for her and she is pulling through like a trooper, but we need to be sensitive to her needs whether she knows what they are or not. I'm not really surprised to hear myself say (or think) this, but I feel such a love for this little girl that I had no idea was possible. It literally tugs at my heart and it bothers me that I don't always know what she wants or needs. We tell her PAPA AI or MAMA AI which is Papa or Mama loves you and she repeats it so we know that she knows that. She has also learned how to kiss which is always a sweet moment for us all. We will all get through this transition although it will take some time and not always be smooth. We KNOW that this is the path that God has led us too and we are more than willing to walk that path. We have faith that God has brought us all together for a reason and we are indeed a family. We do a big hand sandwich with her and tell her we love her. I know she knows.

It will all be OK. Thank you God...for everything.
