We have been seeing many new, fun breakthroughs with our youngest!! So exciting to watch!She has finally in the last few weeks come out of her self-protective shell and is talking to other kids her age! Her speech therapist believes she shied away from other kids to keep herself from being rejected or feeling as though she did not fit in. So to see her walk up to another child and ask them a question then sit beside them to eat her lunch in HUGE!! I almost cried!
She is also constantly saying
-Watch me!!
-I can do it myself!
Something you usually see in younger children, but these are really firsts for her at 6 years old.
Exciting to see and looking forward to continuing to watch her open up! Praise God!

Maybe her time with my girls helped to build her confidence. :)
Rejoicing with you!

I found your blog through Laurel's :) We too have recently just adopted two toddlers from the states here and I love to read other believers adoption blogs and be encouraged...I read this post and knew exactly the joy you were feeling over your daughter speaking to another and engaging...Our three year old has recently been doing the same thing, where as before she was soooo distant!! It's so neat to see God working and changing her :) hope you don't mind if I stop by again :)
