Today was my 1st really trying day at home with Megan - today nothing really made her happy… Trying to understand a 2 yr old that doesn’t speak a lot of English and is throwing many fits makes for one whopper of a day. Just so you know crying is very universal – still aggravating no matter what country you come from. Ha! Other than today, Megan is really doing well! Megan has stayed very busy making some very tasty things in her kitchen. She’s “reading” books, playing with her babies’ however, she doesn’t seem to have great motherly instincts. She tends to carry her babies by the leg and she whips those poor little things around like nobody’s business. She loves playing with her Fisher Price princess little people, listening to music (Jeffrey keeps trying to play her Thrift Shop but she isn’t interested. LOL) riding her bike outside and relaxing in her stroller while being pushed around the hood. Megan still isn’t winning that golden star in the sleep department. We are patiently waiting but we’d like to know when exactly a good night’s sleep is going to happen. She is a great eater and loves her food. A bit too much as she is still throwing fits when she wants to eat but it isn’t time. The fits are getting better but still are present.
Megan’s English is coming along slowly. Not as fast as we were thinking but she does understand what we are saying. Hopefully we are just over anxious to have her talk and tell us what she wants.
I really wish I had my camera on me 24/7, so that I can post the 1,000 plus faces of Megan Emily-Mei. She is one funny cookie and has the ‘tude to show for it. I’ll post a few for your entertainment at the end of the blog post.
Jacob and Alex have been so great with Megan! They are always helping by playing with her, watching her while I shower each day, get her in and out of the car, take her for walks and even help her take her shoes on and off. She loves her brothers – even though she can’t say their names correctly. It’s pretty funny what she does calls them. Today Jeffrey was yelling down the stairs to Jacob (who had his ear buds in so he couldn’t hear him at first) and Megan starting echoing Jeffrey’s “JACOB!!” with her own version: “COB!”.
Looks like the weather here the next week is going to be sunny and warm, warm, warm which means that we’ll be able to get in A LOT of pool time! Megan doesn’t need to work on her tan, though. She’s been in the pool a couple of time and they were cloudy days and she already has bathing suit tan lines. Momma is way jealous!!!
Hope you all are doing well!
