There was a stealing incident and several lying incidents.<br /><br />Our Ethiopian daughter (12) can at times act like she is 5 emotionally, so she wants to be "first" when we play games, and wants things done her way revolving around her. She can be very hyper at times as well, and when asked to settle down, then swings to the other end of the pendulum of being ticked at everyone.<br /><br />Overall though, we are keeping everyone busy and monitoring everyone as much as possible, and that seems to cut down on a lot of the problems. Because we are there to see what they are doing rather than having to hear from another sibling the bad choices they are making.<br /><br />It all works out better if the parents are the ones who witness the bad behavior in our house. Avoids that sibling animosity a bit.One Crowded Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06646904151810368442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693764739876435148.post-74384569050570953872011-12-30T01:03:07.298-08:002011-12-30T01:03:07.298-08:00We spent a lot of time on the beach.

We had some drama with a former family member. We celebrated 2 years of Patrik being with us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492649968147186399noreply@blogger.com
