So we completed our 3 day weekend, which went very well over all. We think consistency is the key with the girls. During this transition calendar and going back and forth we could see the struggle that they are having. We know the next few days will be rough getting back into our groove.
Bedtimes became easier, naps were still a struggle with S, but we think they will always be. We think with no nap, bed time will come earlier at least. When school starts for them in California , we hope the bed time issues will disappear. We did have their party at the trampoline park, and they did have a pretty good time. It's such a great outlet for letting them run and jump and to burn so much energy. I was pretty disappointed that not very many people showed up. We only had 4 parties arrive. I had thought that others that I invited cared enough to show, but I thought wrong. It sucks when you think others you work with care and then you decide to spend a good amount of money on a party and no one shows up. I am super grateful for the people that did show and the couple that called after to apologize for not making it. Oh well, the lovelies had a good time, that's all that counts.
On Monday the girls had a therapy visit with their grandparents and aunt. We definitely see a different side of the girls in therapy. Mostly a side we really never see. M seems more shut off, and S tends to be shut off and more child like. M did not like that her grandmother got emotional and started to cry. I had her leave the room to talk with her about it. We worked through it and then returned to the session. S seemed to soak up the therapy time with her grandma and aunt, which was nice to see. M finally came around to interacting after no one was emotional.
We took the girls back to their foster parents home at 7 last night. They spent last night and all day today with them. The girls will be coming back tomorrow evening around 7pm for forever. FOREVER!
We are very excited for them and for us and we wish only the best for them.
As for our move, we had packers here yesterday and today. The movers come tomorrow to load it all up. We have secluded our selves to our bedroom with the only available tv. Dogs are stressed and so are we. We are lucky that the girls only had to experience one day of the process. When they come back all they will see is mattresses and a few days worth of clothing. We kept back a few kitchen items so we can finish all the food in our freezer. I just want it all to be over and for us to be on our way to California.
Monday we are OUT!
