Our Ukrainian Adoption Blog
The Journey for Our Forever Child

3 1/2 month update

« H E email
posted Tuesday, 1 November 2005

Just wanted to update anyone who still checks this... FINALLY!

Dasha has been adapting very well.  Compared to what I expected, I would have to say AMAZINGLY well!  Her English has improved daily since she has been with us, still!  She is enrolled in 1st grade and doing well considering her language barrier and her previous education environment.  She is also part of an English as a Second Language (ESL) program at her elementary school.  This is to help kids get up to speed in English.  Her communication skills are getting pretty good at this point.

Yesterday, we took her trick-or-treating.  It took a couple houses to get comfortable knocking on the doors and saying "Trick-or-Treat", but as soon as she connected that saying with getting CANDY, she was quickly an old pro.  She went dressed as a cheerleader. 

Thanks to everyone reading this blog while we were in Ukraine!  This helped to encourage me to write daily.  Now we have a record of most of what happened while we were there.  Believe me, I wouldn't put in print some of what happened!  I will keep this for Dasha when she gets older.
