Settling In With Two Kids
I thought about starting this blog before I left for China to adopt Ellie (4.5yo), but I didn't get around to it. We have been home just over a month and we are settling in as a family. Maggie (also adopted from China) turned 5yo just after we got home. It was a milestone birthday for Maggie and I wanted to have a nice party, but it was difficult, of course, to explain that to Ellie who knows no english, so they both got presents. I know Ellie thinks I am going to be buying her stuff every day! We have had to stock up on so much and of course I have to buy two of everything now so I know she thinks these streets are paved in gold...There was a lot of fighting in the beginning but that is slowly getting better. Ellie is finally getting the hang of sharing but that has been a struggle.
