become this...
that is the house that Kyle's grandparents and himself with his parents and brother lived in. The house became to moldy after a leaky roof to remain livable, so hence the demolition. Isaac has been thrilled about watching it all take place. We started watching it on Thursday morning and have taken several trips back and forth between meals and sleep times to see the machines at work and all the rubble taken away. When Isaac has been home is main play is demoing buildings with his own digger and dump truck.
Eli is crawling around and standing up everywhere. This week he has been wanting to follow Isaac outside. He crawls out to the porch, stands up and steps onto the ledge to shout at people and Isaac. He also signed and said "mama" simultaneously the other day.
Prema's language seems to be improving more and more since we started neurofeedback at the language area of the brain 2 weeks ago. She has been able to put together 7-9 signs on one topic...not all in correct order but understandable. This week after neurofeedback and setting up pictures and dolls to represent India/ birth parents and America/ us Prema was signing a lot about a hospital visit where her IV broke and was bleeding and she was told not to pee or poop. We couldn't understand if it was when she had her oral surgery here or her adenoids removed in India. The next day she and I were looking at pictures of her orphanage and she began telling me that the car in the picture was the one she left the hospital in and the same car that took her to school where she peed her pants. These two stories we have not heard before from anyone, but assume they are true. We are very excited that she was able to tell us herself.

What an exciting project for Isaac to watch and be a part of. He was so excited to tell me all about it on the phone.
Eli looks to grwon up in this picture. How cute it must be to have him follow Isaac out and stand there and yell for him. That is very precious.
Amazing things happening for Prema. It is truly a miracle that she is starting to remember things that happened in India. hopefully over time you will be able to find out exactly what brought her to that garbage pile you found her in. Those memories are all not good memories and probably a lot of them are horrible, but with the love and support Kyle and you have provided for her and the continued prayers of all of us, your extended family) and friends, shee can come through to the other side.
Love
Mom
