OH, you guys are so cool to ask about me!

James is doing better. We all are.

His English is phenomenal. He's losing his Russian, and I think it's a self-defense thing. He's afraid when someone speaks Russian, I think he's afraid he's going back.

He absolutely refuses to play baby. He hates it. I think that too, is an emotional thing.

He's starting to trust us. His relationship with the truth is loose, but he's finding out that telling the truth doesn't equate to punishment.

I updated my blog with how well he did on his school screening.

We're running out the door to get his brother.

(due to his sister's SN, sometimes (therapy) there is no way to stay at home, you know?)

So glad to hear from you Doreen! Glad that things sound like they are getting better...even in the best of circumstances, it takes time.

Hannah had a great transition, and yet at the 6 month mark it just seemed to get easier all of a sudden. Change is hard, for everyone.

Hope your next report is a positive one!
