Well tonight was the first time we left Melanie with a babysitter. Of course they had the best babysitter in the world...my mom...or as the kids call her "G".
Melanie and Cohen enjoyed a hour and forty-five minutes of "G" time tonight without me or Jason. SHE DID GREAT!!! This is a true success! We had her watch the kids while we went to an open house at Cohen's school. Mom said that she fed her almost the entire time. We had her watch them at our house so that she would be in familiar surroundings. This is one big thing to check off the "adoption adjustments" checklist! Thank you Jesus.
The next thing on the "adoption adjustments" checklist is having Melanie stay in the church nursery during Worship service. This is probably going to be a little more difficult that the normal adjustment period since we are vising different churches at this time. It will be hard to build up some consistency with familiar surroundings, people, and kids. We pray that this process does not take too long. It is all in HIS timing. Let's just pray that her adjustment period for staying in the church nursery is just as smooth as the bonding stage and staying with a babysitter!
