our weekend

Well the boys are here and making this their home. The oldest was real sad friday evening on the car ride home. He started to cry and said he wanted to go back home. It was sad to see his little face, he was determined he wanted to go back. I kept reassuring him that he was going to be safe and that we loved them. It was heart wrenching. He has had maybe two other moments when he has been sad but we just keep reassuring him he is safe and that we will take care of him because we love him and his brothers. The middle boy does not have very good verbal skills and has a hard time communicating. He has done okay so far and has not had any meltdowns or visibly sad moments. The youngest has done surprisingly well. He had a rough day yesterday. He cried a total of 3 times and it takes a little while to calm him down once he gets to crying. He doesn't like loud noises ~ i discovered this during the bronco game yesterday. (That's going to be rough, isabelle was always right there with us yelling and cheering) So that was one of the times he started to cry and it took awhile to calm him down. Then last night he cried for almost an hour at bedtime. Brian and i took turns holding and rocking him until he finally calmed down.
Overall they have done great, especially since they have gone through so much recently. It could be a lot worse! They have done fine meeting our friends and family so far and that is good. Hopefully they will get to meet everyone in the coming months.

  1. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Hopefully the little one will get used to loud noises that are OK- sometimes yelling is not a bad thing- especially if the Broncos are losing! :0
