We flew into the US 3 months ago today. What a roller coaster it has been! A lot of it hasn't even been Ira. LOL. Speaking of her though, she has made huge strides in these last 3 months. We had a nice little honeymoon stage when we first got home, followed by a few weeks where I was wishing I could take her back to the orphanage. Really wishing.
The last little bit though, I have seen a huge change in her. She is much more kind and loving with Little One. She is not defiant and disrespectful to me. She has become quite the little tattletale and has even lied to me a couple of times (that I've caught her anyway) but for the most part she is a completely different child. Much more like the one I saw last fall. No more do I hear how much she wants to go back or that she doesn't love me. Her English is coming along very well. She understands almost everything at this point and speaks quite a bit too. Little One is still annoying at times, but Ira deserves it just as often. LOL. They are acting as sisters now though, instead of enemeies. I love to listen to them giggling about something together.
Here's hoping the next 3 months bring even more positive changes! Bring it on! :)
