Claire and Pearl










Claire and Pearl had a great playdate. They are so alike and played really well together. Claire really liked Carli, too.

Update

Pearl seems to be settling in finally. She has gained three pounds in just six weeks! She is sleeping through the night between 10-12 hours. Naps during the day still are a little unpredictable, although yesterday she took a three hour nap! NO pattern yet.

She really likes going to the kids club at the gym. She moves around and investigates all the toys and watches the other kids. When I arrive to pick her up, she will smile at me but won't come. She wants to stay and play. I think she likes the noise and chaos of the place. It might remind her of the orphanage.

Today Carli is out of school so Julie and Claire (Pearl's orphanage sister) are coming down to visit. I am excited to see if they remember each other at all. Even if they don't, I am sure they will enjoy playing together.
