First 24 Hours


I would be lying if I said the first night was easy...it was not.   Kailey is used to having everything her way and she has a temper when she doesn't get it. We saw it last night for the first time (and not the last time).  She is getting used to everything new and is definitely testing us.  She can't hear herself scream...most hearing impaired people tend to talk louder...she screams louder.   We all have melt downs!  We asked today when we finalized the adoption if this was normal for her and they said yes. She bangs her head on the floor thrashing about, throwing and spitting (recently learned at  orphanage)  you can tell she is scared of course, but nothing comforts her. 

We will have some issues to deal with once she gets into a routine, until then we are patiently easing her into her new world. 

Here is a picture of her after the last temper tantrum....it wore her out...peacefully sleeping...

 Pray for us and pray for Kailey.   Tomorrow is the 2 story Walmart!!
