It's been hard trying to speak w/ the children since most of them don't speak English. I don't want them to forget their native languages, but I've started to emerge them into the English language because I figure if I don't now it will just make things harder in the future.
Celio likes to bottle up his emotions to the point where sometimes he'll just blow up for no reason. Right now I'm leaving him to sort through what he needs to by himself & hope he'll come to me when he's ready.
Benjamin &
Katherine are happy to finally have a home, especially a home where they can be together. All the yrs w/ only each other has made them very close, but they love the ide of having other siblings.
Ila is a very well adjusted little girl. She has adapted into our family easily & loves the idea of having an older & younger sister.
Ajit is having more trouble than his sister. At 1st he only went to his sister for comfort, but has started to come to me when he doesn't feel well. Most nights he spends w/ me.
Lawan is our little wiggle-worm. She just lights up a room & makes everyone happy.
