Chloe,
Belle, and
Alex settled into our family right away, especially
Alex. She was very glad to have a mommy again and very excited to have sisters. We enrolled her in ballet like
Ari, which she loves. It has helped give her confidence to not need mothering as much, though we still make sure she gets some special mommy-and-daddy time.
Chloe and
Belle took a little longer to warm up to us, but within a few weeks we couldn't imagine them not being in our family. We have had
Chloe tested and discovered that she has dyslexia. We have enrolled both girls in preschool, making an individual education plan for
Chloe. Both girls are doing well. We arranged for them to be in the same class, but they are getting more comfortable as they make friends in school. They adjusted well to having older siisters, and have taken to the family pastime of swimming. We have enrolled both girls in T-ball, which they both enjoy. We feel so lucky to have these wonderful girls in our family.
