Adjusting

I had no idea that love felt like this. The more time I spend with the girls the more I feel like they have always been with me. I believe the girls have adjusted very well and Dezi is starting to cling to me in public...which is a big deal. I knew the attachment process would take some time and everyday I do see improvement. I have to remind them almost daily that they don't have to say Hi to everyone that they see. Everyone thinks it's cute...but it doesn't help with attachment. I now can walk through Meijers without them talking to everyone that they see, but when someone stops me to talk about how beautiful they are...that's when they, well I should say Dezi starts talking, so I kindly excuse myself and keep walking. Everyone says it's cute they they are so friendly, but when you're working on attachment...it's not so cute. I want them to be kind and respectful to their elders, so when someone does approach us, I tell the girls that they can look them in the eyes and say Hi and when they ask questions, they can answer, but they are not allowed to make conversation. It's so exhausting when we go out, but I know over time it will all work out.

I have the girls on a pretty good schedule, but I can't figure out their morning routine yet. They get up at different times everyday. It's always between 7 & 8:30am. I reminded them at 7am this morning that it's Summer time and that means we get to sleep longer in the morning. They of course didn't get it. Oh well...I guess their wake up time depends on their level of activity the day before and it's always a joy to hear their soft voices wake me up.

I'm really looking forward to all 3 of my girls being together this Summer. We have a lot of play time planned.
