We had a wonderful Mother's Day with our girls. Pete bought a dozen roses, and the girls got Mommy a card and chocolates. Not cheap stuff, but the good chocolate. How quickly they learn how to butter up Mommy? Daddy had it figured out a long time ago. After going to church, we spent the day together enjoying the day. It was truly a special 1st Mother's Day, and worth the wait.
The girls are doing well, and have transitioned into day care very well. No more fussing after only two weeks. They are making friends and interacting well, even though Sasha is still not able to communicate as well as she would like. Dasha is babbling up a storm, and walking better and better each day. She is learning to put her toys away, and loves to take her bath. All we need to do is start the water and she is trying to climb in. She still has her 8 teeth, but seems to be ready to cut more anytime now. She is happy most of the time, and we are starting to see more and more of her personality come out each day.
Sasha is speaking in short sentences (2-4 words), and repeats what we say. She had a breakthrough day yesterday and went potty 4 times. Perhaps she is ready to go back to voiding on the potty after all. She like to sing songs, and likes the Bible song and ABC. We can see her wheels turning when we speak to her, and she seems to comprehend much of what we say. Her temper tantrums are less and less frequent, and much shorter duration than before. We are amazed at both girls progress in just 7 weeks.
Each night we pray and thank God for these little ones in our lives. And Sasha says, "Amen".
Thanks for sharing in our joy.
