Our first week home

It's hard to believe a week ago we left India. Karuna is doing just great. He's sleep patterns are still a little off but seem to be getting better. Tuesday was his first doctors appointment and he did super. He will need 3 shots before school starts in the fall which I'm not looking forward too. He has been complaining about pain in two places in his mouth and I was able to get him in to see the dentist Thursday and unfortunately he has 2 cavities. So next Tuesday we go back and get them filled. Jessica has never had a cavity so this will be my first experience with a child.

This week has been full of first for Karuna. We visited his school that he will be going to in the fall for the first time. Everyone was so happy to finally see him and welcomed him with open arms. Tuesday it was a beautiful day outside so Karuna tried rollerblading for the first time. I wish I would of had a video camera rolling to capture this moment. At first he had a hard time staying up on his feet and would giggle everytime he lost his balance. He had me laughing at time so hard I had a hard time helping him. Anyway, it was a great experience for him. Wednesday we got his bike out and he loved riding it around in the driveway. He has been playing basketball, hitting a ball with a bat, playing with sidewalk chalk,and I think his favorite blowing bubbles outside.

Yesterday we went to the zoo most of the morning. He had a blast looking at all the animals. He got to feed some goats which he thought was great. It tickled his hands and he was laughing. We then we to a little playground they have at the zoo and he climbed the monkey bars like a pro.

I will post pictures when I get the chance to get them off the camera.

    I am teary thinking of him getting to do all these things for the first time! What a wonderful thing to have so much summer ahead to do the fun stuff that will delight him (and you!) so much. Glad you're all doing well . . . and I'll pray for the dentist visit.

    Oh Teresa, I am so happy that Karuna is doing so well! Just reading about his laughing was making me tear up. In the time I was there in December/January, I don't remember seeing him laugh. What a blessing your family is to this little boy. He needed love and attention so badly, and now he knows the love of a family. I can't wait to see you all together in person at the end of the month!

    Love and hugs to you all,
    Teresa and Family
