Emma's transition is amazing. She is a very happy child and is trying hard to fit into her new life. She is now talking in a few small sentences of which the first one was "I don't like that one." She's also picking up a few spanish words so Emma currently is using english, vietnamese, spanish and jibberish to communicate - it's quite an interesting mix.
She loves school. My first teachers conference went well - Emma is right on track in most areas but could use improvement with her loud voice. She is very social at school and has adjusted well to full days. She's been to a birthday party for one of her classmates who she now refers to as "Happy birthday Henry". She also plays school soccer (or at least she is on the team) and although her idea of soccer is chasing her little girlfriend on the team she is having fun.
She does not like the Halloween decorations at all. In the stores she makes a face everytime we come across anything halloween. She does not like the dark at all. If it is dark she is supposed to be in bed and there is no changing her mind on this.
First round of shots are done, all blood work is done and 1/3 or her post-placement homestudy is done.
