We had a few wake ups by S last night, but she was easily redirected to go back to bed. Especially after the bed time experience/struggle we had with her. M was snug as a bug in her bed, which was awesome! The girls had perfect timing of coming to wake us up right around 7am. We watched some cartoons and had some cereal for breakfast. The girls got ready and I took them to the park so Sean could get the grill cleaned for the movers. We had a really fun time at the park and played hide and seek. I decided to try again with a little school shopping at Payless and again, they taught me a lesson. I know for sure to just bring clothing/shoes home for them. We did find some cute black flats for some of the dressy clothes we purchased for school. We are hoping that our adoption worker will pull through and get us clothing vouchers for the girls for school. They used to go to a uniform school and now we are needing regular school clothes. I had the chance to go through some of their regular clothes and saw that I will be definitely getting rid of a lot of them because they are too small and not appropriate for school. So it's a whole new wardrobe for these two little lovelies = $$$ = a broke mom! So we really hope our worker will pull through.
We came home for lunch and then it was nap time. S put up a bit of a struggle, which I am getting used to and I know it will go by fast. After some ups and downs, she was asleep on the couch. M was more willing to curl up under a blanket for her nap. An hour and a half later, all eyes were open. They watched "Bolt" while Sean and I did some organizing for the movers, and then watched "Up" while dinner was cooked. Dinner was great, and the girls ate up the tacos. We talked about all the other members of their new family, which made them really excited. Ice cream with a little chocolate syrup for dessert made them more than happy.
We finished our evening with some dancing time, mostly by S, but M joined in some as well. I recorded her dancing and it was so precious. In her room she has a mirror and she had the best time dancing around and doing some breakdancing on the floor. This was a great energy outlet. We played with the camera feature on the iMac and we all got a good laugh out of some of the effects the camera has. We did see some new sides of M today concerning when she does not get her way with S. There was a time where she asked S if she could play with her guitar and S said no. M stormed off and closed herself in the bathroom. I coaxed her out pretty quickly and she was fine. While we were playing/dancing in S's room, we asked her not to pick up Spike, and then she did. We had her repeat the rules and then she hid herself in the closet. She came out quickly and there was just a little pouting. I am glad we are seeing a few of her issues now, but we know there will be more later.
Bath time with some Baby Magic Lavender and Chamomile helped calm them both down. I read stories to M, then S and they were immediately asleep. Such a huge difference from the night before. I hope that all days could be like or as better as it was today.
Tomorrow's another busy day. More organizing for the move and then our Hello/Goodbye Party at the trampoline park. All are invited! It's at Cool Springz at 4pm. The girls are excited about meeting new people and getting to play there again. We hope a few people will show up!
