Little by Little


Though Emily is supposed to stay in her own crib she's been sneaking into Ashley's crib during the night


We have been told by other adoptive parents to look for the little things (the very little things) each day with the girls that might encourage our hearts, so here they are...

Both girls signed "please" today at breakfast
They are sleeping through the night (once they finally get to sleep)
They overcame their fear of going in the backyard.
Ashley finally submitted to me after a 70 minute temper tantrum (discipline, love, repeat...)
There have been a few spontaneous smiles throughout the day
They are eating well
Ashley signed "eat" when I told her it was time to eat last night

That's a GREAT start on your list LaNae! I was encouraged just reading it. I am praying fervently for you guys and these days. I'll be praying God grants you a full nights rest. Love you much, Heidi

That's awesome. It's good that you are recording everything on your blog. It's helpful to look back after a time and remember how far they have come.
