We are home with Jacob and we were trying to get back to a routine. I will continue to keep both blogs going for awhile, then I will combine them into one. Thanks to everyone that follow our journey to Jacob blog while in China and for the wonderful comments.
Jacob has started school as loves it! He is slowly learning to speak English with the help of picture flash cards. His ESL teacher will soon start teaching him the alphabet sounds and he will start learning to read English. He is trying hard and wants to learn English so he can communicate with everyone.
Adopting an older child is hard, even as good as Jacob is. I never knew how difficult not being able to fully communicate with him would be. He gets frustrated with us when we do not understand him as well as it can be frustrating to us. But, in time, this will get better. He seems to be very happy with his life in America and loves all foods! He has yet to not eat anything that we place in front of him.
Lily loves having a brother to aggravate!
