Getting settled in

We are getting into a pattern at home, and overcoming some issues and facing new ones daily. Sasha went to bed without incident last night, so our strategy is maybe starting to work, but she is reverting on her toileting, which is very normal. MaryEllen is working with her during the day, but she is in a state where she doesn't seem to care if she goes in her pull-up.

Thursday was Dr. day and we had a good check-up. Both girls were very good considering what they went through. They took blood and checked them out thoroughly, and everyone seems to be healthy.

We have been getting outside the last week as temps have been in the 60's. The girls love the park, especially the swings, and seem to fit right in to our neighborhood. There are lots of kids of all ages.

Dasha is walking better each day, and can walk 10 - 20 yards without falling sometimes. Sasha is starting to say some things in English, mimicking me and MaryEllen. We think she is understanding quite a bit already, but just not speaking. She is still rambling in Russian, and I can only imagine her thoughts as we have a dumb look on our faces and don't do what she wants. That will all change quick enough though.

Each day is an adventure. Chinese tonight, and Sam's tomorrow. Yea.
