ahhh life is good

So H has been with us since Monday. It is going great! She has settled in well at home. She is learning how to be part of a family, but I know she loves every minute of it. H has never been part of a family- never been taken care of. She is learning her boundaries and getting a dose of discipline.
This week was a bit difficult in discovering the schedule that suits her best. She currently is at a PreK school that is apparently great for her discibilities. However, they only meet 2 hours, 4 days a week, with only a half hour devoted to actually learning. So we were dropping her off and then barely making it to school on time. Then I would have to leave at my first break to go and bring her back to our school. And what for??? 30 minutes of learning centers!!! I am not an advacate of public schools!!!! Anyway, we finally figured it out and as long as I can get her IEP accomodated at our school then she is OK to come! HURRAY!!! Every baby step towards what is best for this little girl deserves a big HURRAYYY!!!! :)
She does very well at our school. Her aggression doesn't appear to be any worse than the other monsters. :) She actually has very few outbursts. Hmmmm a little love from those around her goes a long way.
She has regressed to pull-ups- which is frustrating, but understandable. We are really working on getting her trained again. Hopefully, with consistency she won't regress again.
I met her case worker yesterday. She is fabulous!!!! I love her. She is totally interested in what is best for H. She said that she has never seen H talk as much as she is. She is very excited with how well she is doing. I am glad that she is progressing so well. Sounds like some of her issues might be genetic, but others are a result of other things.
Today we will get her hair cut. We are going to buy her training wheels for a bike given to us. And there is an adoption celebration clinic thing at the park I am meeting up with a friend to go to.
I am still working on offering her to Jesus. I know I am in a better place than when we had N, but I still need to offer more. I think my offering creates a trust that He will always take care of me. It also creates humility in me. Humility takes me to a place that I love to be, but it requires so much to get there. The biggest thing is that I need to trust that God does have a plan for the broken. He does take care of the homeless, motherless. Wherever this little one goes is exactly where she should be. I am learning to BELIEVE that truth.
Anyway, thanks for all your prayers, encouragement, and gifts. She is going to be the best dressed 4 year old I have ever seen!!!!! I hope you all have a chance to be touched by her.
