If he wanted a toy that someone else had...they ripped iit out of the child's hand and gave it to him. You get the picture. <br /><br />He tantrummed for a good while. He still has "Little Prince Syndrome" as we call it. It is getting better but maaaaaan...if he decides he does not want to do something...watch out. <br /><br />So glad you guys are on the way home!Flushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539439820533176947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-5430223876743136132009-05-07T16:25:00.000-05:002009-05-07T16:25:00.000-05:00oh...my...goodness...so happy for you all and can'...oh...my...goodness...so happy for you all and can't wait to meet the girls!

She was used to getting a pretzle or a toy for screaming and kicking on the floor so she pulled out all the stops for the first little while. She also did the hand flapping thing. It will probably all subside with consitant training. She'll learn:). They both sound like dolls.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997440256348249766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-34387922520274791822009-05-07T16:04:00.000-05:002009-05-07T16:04:00.000-05:00I know how excited you must be.

Good luck on your journey home!<br /><br />Matthew was a lot like Emily when we first picked him up. Poor kid was absolutely terrified and just had no idea what we wanted him to do - which frustrated him to no end! It wasn't until we showed him a picture of his orphanage bed on our camera that he understood what he was supposed to do. He, too was given candy or treats or whatever just to get him to stop crying. Watch out. Those same items can now prove to be trauma triggers once you settle in to your new life. Lollipops were the absolute WORST for a long time.<br /><br />Fair warning...Matthew also screamed (aka shriked) and rocked on all fours pretty much the entire flight home. One of the best things we did was find him a sippy cup before we left Ukraine. We filled it with watered down juice and he hugged it like a prized teddy bear the whole time. It was a life saver.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444891084585965661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-42214156641571517732009-05-07T13:50:00.000-05:002009-05-07T13:50:00.000-05:00Congratulations!
