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...
