Well, we've started off with a real challenge! Uno (6 yr old boy), Dos (4 yr old girl), and Tres (3 yr old girl) have come from a home where, without going into detail, they were greatly deprived of food and love, to say the least. They have been in separate foster homes, the girls together and the boy in another home. The agency wanted them to be together, of course, so they called us up and asked if we would take them. It just so happened that we were at the dealership buying a van that could hold them!
Having these children made me realize again how good (and easy) Boy9 and Girl5 were! They were angels and their younger siblings were not too bad either. These precious ones I have now have apparently had no boundaries or discipline. As soon as we got them they were pushing our buttons and seeing what they could get away with.
So far, Uno has punched me in the back while I was taking him to time-out, kicking and screaming. They are supposed to be napping right now (Uno can play quietly in his room) but they keep getting up.
I should get the paperwork to enroll him in school tomorrow. Uno is in Kindergarten so having just the two girls during the day should help some.
We could use a lot of prayer right now if you think about it.
