It's been a whirlwind since Wednesday, but what a joy. Hope's wildest dreams have come true. Will loves her. They play amazingly well together. It is great to see. He even readily shares Jim's lap with her.
Will is doing really well. I am amazed at how well he is taking all the changes in his life. The main sticking point is Jim must be available to him at all times. He constantly must know where Jim is. He will be playing in another room, and will coming running to where Jim is. He climbs into his lap, kisses him, and moves on. We have had several meltdowns, when he comes back for his quick check to find Jim gone.
So far, mommy is not really rating too high. He will let me hand him stuff - juice cups, cookies, etc. He will go to anyone but me. He loves the 3 older kids, but mommy is someone to be concerned about. That will change with time, but boy would Jim like that to change quickly.
At home, we have a few too many pets for Will's taste- 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 5 goats, and 1 turtle. So far, Will is very unimpressed with the pets. He has finally gotten to the point where it doesn't jump into Jim's arms when one comes close too him. He still growls at the them as they pass by. So far, we have been keeping the dogs outside until bedtime so he doesn't get too stressed out.
That's all for now.
