This post is a little late but we have had Jianna for a month now. What a difference time makes! Most of the time she is quite happy and content. She enjoys being in our family. She loves going places. She loves all this good food. Most of all she loves American TV and her new pretty clothes. She is such a girly-girl!
Here are some photos of her since we have been home.
Nathan and Jianna are truly brother and sister. I have had to break up a few squabbles but, for the most part, they get along well. Nathan is having to deal with a lot of jealousy since he was used to being the only child and having all the attention. He likes being able to show her how to do things and will take her by the hand saying, "Come on Jianna!" She seems to like him quite a bit. I think she is impressed that he knows his way around this strange environment so well.
I cannot believe how much more difficult it is to get somewhere with two children! When I send them to do a task they distract each other and, instead of it taking twice as long to do something, it takes three times as long. Then they both jockey for position next to me so I am tripping over them.
It's definitely an adjustment but the first month is over and I'm sure that will be the hardest. I look at this beautiful little girl and find it so amazing and strange that she is my daughter. I am sure she still finds her surroundings strange and surreal.
I look forward to the time when I can hear what she is thinking.
