Caylie is doing well. She is happy most of the time, eats almost anything we give her (although the only chocolate she's liked so far is Oreos - go figure), goes to sleep when it's time for bed (and actually slept till SEVEN this morning!), and is good at entertaining herself, although this usually means that whatever she finds in the house is automatically a plaything. (What's hers is hers and what's ours is hers!)
She is getting more comfortable playing with other children, and will leave us to go do something fun with them if the opportunity arises. However, she ran off to play with kids she didn't even know at the ball park yesterday!
We are working on using words instead of whining for something. If she doesn't already know the word we will tell her "_____, please! I want _____, please!" Normally she is cooperative, but sometimes she gets into one of her stubborn moods and would rather cry or hit or throw things. These are the times that I have to remind myself, "She's only been home 6 weeks. She's only been home 6 weeks. . . " As comfortable as she is in our home, it's easy for forget that less than two months ago she left her foster home and all the things that were normal and stable in her world.
Here are a few pictures from the last week.
Making sand castles with Taylor at the reservoir.
Learning how to "knit" with Sandy.
Ice cream at Jie Jie's ice cream store! Yeah, we usually end up there once a week or so. :)
Baba's birthday! Can you see the candles?
I'm so excited about birthday candles!
Happy Birthday, Baba!
Sky Sox baseball game in Colorado Springs. It was rainy and cold, but she got to wear her purple jacket, so she was happy.
And I think she liked Sox the Fox even better than Dinger!
And this is just a photo for Rockies fans . . . poor Aaron Cook is a shadow of his former self. :(
And just because, another photo of Justin being Justin. :)
