Just had to share a moment with you before I headed to bed. Got my first real kisses from Devyn tonight!! As I may have mentioned, she is not a kissy, huggy kind of kid. As a matter of fact she is very much the opposite and does not care to be cuddled very often at all. So this is a BIG deal, as we are a very kissy-huggy-lovey kind of family. Tonight after her bath, Daddy brought her to me to lotion, get pjs and settled. Well we have been working on kissing for a while now and I will make a big deal about making the "MMMMMuah" sound..lol.. so tonight when I stood her up, she closed her mouth and started making the MMMMMuah sound and kissed ME!!! And then we played this game for quite awhile!! I was loving that she let me that close to her and that SHE initiated it!!! This was going on while Daddy was bathing Julia so no pics or videos to share of it. But I'm sure it won't be the last time. :)
Please keep us in your prayers, this adjustment is very hard for Julia in particular and right now I feel like I've had to be more referee than Mom. We are working our way through it and I'm making the extra effort to let her know that our love for her has NOT changed at all but that Devyn needed a family too. Big concepts for her little mind to grasp. We definitely have had some rough spots each day. Good spots too of course, a rare moment captured above, but lots of bickering and not wanting to share going on. The things we expected really, but expecting them doesn't necessarily make them easier to handle. I'm sure we'll get through it and her sweet personality will win out but just keep her in your prayers through the transition. Thanks!
