We are so happy to include Ashlyn and Waldo into our family! It went way better than even our highest anticipations and hopes, and we were exstatic to adopt children such close ages to our biological kids ages.
The kids get along great. Monica, being the little wild child that she is, accepted Ashlyn right away, they love running around the yard and swimming! They are a perfect sister match, they both are very ambitious and joyful. They also went haywire when they found out that their birthdays are on the same day- July 3. They recently had an early birthday party for themselves, acting like little princesses.
Ashlyn couldn't be happier here, as far as we can tell. She jabbers on to me about everything happening, and warmed my heart the other day telling me that she loves me and 'Daddy', and that she likes calling someone Mama and Daddy, for that matter. She is just a TINY bit less wild than Monica, and loves playing the role of big sis! When she's not running around with Monica, she's teaching Adelaide, dancing with Adelaide, chasing Waldo, or coloring with Waldo.
Waldo is just as wonderfull. When we first brought him home, he was a bit overwhelmed, and cried a fair bit. We finally got him to come around by showing him his new room- we made the room fairly simple, just blue walls, hardwood floors, a crib, etctera, but we added at least ten stuffed puppies, bears, and kitties, and then all he could do was smile. He's still a little shy dude, and likes me or Will to hold him most of the time, which is fine with us, he's such a sweetie. Adelaide is also very curious about him, they like to play together, Adelaide is easily just as shy, so they love to play their little games together.
Thanks Forever,
Summer, Will, Monica, Ashlyn, Adelaide, and Waldo.
