DS/DS: Lucas Heath / Leif Herod - 6It has been two years since we were fortunate to be able to bring home a sibset of three children- Juliet, Heath, and Leif. Julie, as we have nicknamed Juliet, has made great improvements over the last two years. At first, it was very hard for us to have her here and for her to not talk to us- for the first few months she wouldnt even write to us to tell her what she was feeling or what she needed. We think the best thing for her has been our dogs. Although, I believe Christopher helped her a lot too by sitting with her for long lengths of time just sitting- when finally she opened up and talked to him. Julie loves the dogs and Gandolf especially. Gandolf has taken to sleeping with Julie at night and loves to follow her around. Julie has done quite well in school- especially now that she is talking. She doesn't have many friends, but because she and Damian are in the same class at school, he has helped her become quite popular! (He's always been a sociable boy!) Damian and her have gotten along quite well too. And Anika adores having a big sister to follow and play with. The twins, Lucas (we renamed from Heath) and Leif, have adjusted quite well. They love to run around and play outside- alwyas together. They've been in school and have done quite well. The two are in different classes which lets them develop their own selves better. Lucas is know to be quite obnoxious at school and has been sent into timeout a number of times- we're working on controlling his behavior. Leif, on the other hand, has become a favorite of his teacher. He is so obedient and is such a sweet little boy. He has made a few friends- but not near as many as Lucas has. They have both started football and love it a lot. Damian has been practicing with them since they first came with us. He's taken the position of coaching them very seriously! Anika loves to be a big sister to them too and loves to cuddle with Leif (as Lucas will never sit still long enough)- because of this, Leif and her have bonded very much.It has been great. We thank you so much for our new children!
