Yesterday Rebekah stayed home from school for some much needed rest. She was going to stay in bed until Fatima asked her, in her own way, to go to the dentist with her. Bekah was beaming and so excited that she asked her to go! We had an appointment with Dr. Mullens, who happens to be my kids' dentist, at 9:30. She did awesome! Unfortunately she has some major dental issues. We will have many appointments ahead of us I'm sure! We met with some other host families at Granada Park for a few minutes of fun time before everyone had to venture off to their vision appointments. Fatima has perfect eyes! Yay! Several people have commented on how different she looks from the other visiting children. Her eyes are a little more "Asian" looking. This is just because of the different region where she is from. While we were in Avondale for the eye appointment, we were directed to several other local businesses who so graciously gave out goodie bags to the kids and a free cupcake from Let Them Eat Cake! When Fatima ate that she said "Yummy!"
Last night the kids got together with some other host families and their girls and they had a blast! I couldn't go because of a previous engagement, but Greg said that the girls disappeared and he didn't see them all evening. He just heard lots of laughter. My girls told me that Fatima was so much fun. She finally showed her true self and they loved her even more. They said she is so funny. I am so happy things are going so great so far!
Thank you for your comments. It lets me know we are not in this alone and I really appreciate hearing from you!
