our adoptive kids have been home for about 2 1/2 weeks now and they are ages 2 and 5. We have been keeping to ourselves with the kids at home and not doing alot of outside activities. The kids are thriving and the bonding is going good. I think the main thing is to make them feel special without all the materialistic stuff. Do alot of activities that end with positive reinforcment, remind them how proud you are and how happy they make you. As for physical activities, our kids just want us to watch them play and reassure them they are doing a great job. I was worried when they first came home but everything just kind of fell into place. I made sure we didn't "spoil them" with gifts and trips because I did not want them to think living in our home would be all fun and games! We finally took our first family outing last night to Chuck E Cheese and they had a blast!
