We were very excited for Kim to come. Her travel was smooth which was great. She said she felt like she didn’t talk for 2 days during the travel since she couldn’t speak Spanish.
Lanie LOVES Kim. Actually she loves Kim a bit too much. She wants to attach to her instead of me because I also require her to take naps and do things she doesn’t like. This has become a struggle for sure.
We went to a beautiful egological rainforest here in Manizales called Recinto del Pensamiento with Stephanie and the boys. There was a hummingbird observation area, butterfly gardens and much more. While it was beautiful, there were various difficulties with the children which made it unpleasant to say the least. Alli has been promoted to the status of adult as she acts much more like us! It seems she has grown up a lot in the last few weeks.
The challenges with Lanie continue. They probably will for a while. This is my “new normal” I guess. We had planned to go to an amusement park a couple of hours away Tuesday. Alli really wants to go. I’d like to go. We’ll see if it seems possible given the challenges of Lanie.
I hope to hear more on the status of the adoption Monday. We will also enjoy “Beauty day” doing our nails and coming up with new hair styles. Hopefully it will be fun. Alli is really looking forward to it!
