All the children are adjusting well. It was a little harder for Adeline and Adrien since they're older, but they're doing very good. Adeline and Adrien have become great friends with my 5-year old son, Henry. At times, Adeline feels left out. My eight-year old daughter, Grace, is having a hard time adjusting to having 3 more siblings. She used to play with Henry all the time and now she feels like Adeline and Adrien have taken over. She's getting better with it, though. Adeline looks up to Grace, which makes Grace very proud. They enjoy playing together. Little Anatasie, who we call Anna, is adjusting the best of all the kids. She enjoys all the attention. She is a big handful, yet adorable. Adrien is best friends with Henry now, but at first he was very shy. He's getting more and more comfortable each day. We signed Adeline up for dance on Mondays and gymnastics one Thursdays. She got Grace into gymnastics as well and now both girls go and love it. Henry was already on a soccer team, so we signed Adrien up to be on his team. He is very happy to have someone he knows on the team. I try to practice my French by speaking it to the kids, but they all laugh at me. I guess I'm not as good as I thought I was =). All the children are doing great on their English, especially Adeline. She is doing so well, she decide to try to teach Grace French. Grace loves learning a new language.
Overall, the children are all adjusting very very well. Thank you!
