How's He Doing?

He is doing great! God has blessed us with a charming, helpful, funny, affectionate little boy. I am surprised at how easy he has been. It makes me want to start chasing paperwork again to return for one of the older girls. He loves his brothers and they have a great time building things with Lego's.

The hitch is that my Omega child is giving me all kinds of grief. She is a beautiful little girl. Gentle and quiet she is not. She has been a sort of Tasmanian devil lately, well actually since she was 18 months old. I feel badly for Nes, because he is getting the brunt of her anger. I have had other children like this, and I know which gene pool she gets it from. It makes life hard. I have trouble figuring out how to fill her love tank when she is kicking and screaming and telling me I'm not her Mommy anymore. All of you adoptive parents are thinking she may have an attachment disorder, but she is a belly baby. Some kids are just like that. She is an intense personality and she takes a lot of my time. I'm very glad that we chose to bring one little guy home this time.

The weather is also putting a damper on all of our spirits. We are stuck inside trying to think of creative ways to entertain ourselves. Add to that the nasty virus that is hanging out with us, and it is hard to keep my happy face. Nes is the bright spot in all of this. His bright eyes, smile, and fun dance moves keep us going. I'm just praying that the April snow showers do indeed bring May flowers.
