My hands and arms are so sore today. I spent 2 hours combing out Molly's dreadful hair. If you know AA hair you will get my play on words. It was such a mess. I wish she would take better care of it. So after I got it all combed out I put some conditioner and hair oil on it and made her wear a shower cap to bed. We will be doing this every night from now on. I am still looking for the right product for her type of hair. Her curls are so very tight and dry. But I know one thing I won't spend 2 straight hours combing it out again.
This is Hannah's newest doodle. She drew this while Molly, dad and I played Wii last night. I think it is pretty good for a 4 yr. old.
We spent yesterday morning running between kids activities. Hannah had swimming lessons that end just when Molly needs to be at the church for cheer leading. Ron was on call but was able to get away and pick Molly up and take her to cheer leading. Hannah is the youngest and by far the littlest kid in her swimming lessons but she swims circles around them all. This kid is going to have a tough time choosing what she wants to be in because she is good at everything. As far as Molly's cheer leading, she LOVES it and is by far the loudest cheerleader out there...Go Molly.
Just a quick update on how things have been going lately I have to say give me a G, give me a R, give me a E, give me a A, give me a T. What's that spell? GREAT. I really can't explain it, but it is like a switch has been flipped and things are just normal. Molly's behavior has been very pleasant. I am no longer anxious about how she might react to our saying no to something or asking her to do something that previously would have turned into a Molly meltdown. Yes, she still has 10 yr.old moments but she recovers extremely quickly and we are all happy again. All things considered are transition has been pretty smooth. I know that there are a lot of families that have had to tackle way more issues than our minor, very short lived and very easily corrected with simple discipline. I have to say Molly is a great kid and I have such respect for how she has adjusted in such a short time. I truthfully at her age, thrust into her circumstances over the last few years, would be a big bawling baby everyday mixed in with a bit of anger. Molly is a lovely young lady and is very affectionate. Her and her sister love each other to pieces and it is so wonderful to see. What can I say except we are very blessed by the gift of adoption.
Blessings,
Bliss
