Three Months Already!
Our little Julie has been home now 3 months. Things are going really well. She’s potty trained except for the night. A great delight is running after the cats with a stick and yelling. Or the sticks work well on a tree stump like a drum. She was pounding that stump and singing loudly! Still loves her milk…good thing she landed up on a dairy farm. This week she was also rescued from a mud puddle. Screaming like she was dying and the mud squishing up between her toes. So Mama carried her in to the tub and did a clean up job…don’t believe she learned her lesson though. Later in the day she was hauled in by big sister and this time it took a complete bath and change of clothes to take care of the mud. Julie is also doing a lot more talking. Lots of words and quite a few short sentences. A mixture of English and Creole. She is quite a noisy, joyful child and the noise level has increased considerably around here since she arrived. The first ten days of silence are now a distant memory! We are also working with a lawyer on trying to complete her adoption. Grandpa and Grandma from Canada are making plans to come this week to meet her for the first time! That will be fun!
