Well, I just read the weekly Russian adoption update from my agency. Same old, same old--- still waiting for signatures..., Russian officials being very cautious.., blah, blah, blah. Same old shit, different week!
Would I do this again? Hell, no. I just hope that when I finally do get my day in the Russian courts, I can put on a fake smile and answer the Judge's questions properly and act as if I am so appreciative about being there. When all I will really want to say is " Well I hope you are happy. If is wasn't for all of your bureaucratic bullshit this wonderful little boy could have been home a YEAR ago!" ( I hope no officials from the MOE are reading this right now-- but it is true!)
On the home front, things are also same as always. Little A bit two more children yesterday. Oh, joy. :( She had done so well for several days now. I just don't know how to make her understand that this sort of behavior is not appropriate. I really think that the biting is because of her communication difficulties. The more I read about it, the more convinced I am that she has Asperger's or some other issue associated with the Autism spectrum. I have talked to the pediatrician, and he says she is really too young to evaluate properly for it. He thinks she has Sensory Integration Disorder-- and has referred me to have her evaluated for occupational therapy, but I haven't taken her yet. I know I should, but she so hated speech therapy, that I hate to subject her to any more therapy. She actually started talking more when I took her out of ST. I made an appointment with her pediatrician for Monday to discuss her behavior and communication issues, as well as her HUGE tonsils. She is really starting to snore loudly when sleeping, and I am wondering if that is why she is waking up several times a night. She is not sick-- her tonsils have just gotten extremely enlarged in the last few months. She has also started choking on food frequently--I have had to do the Heimlich on her a couple of times.
