We still struggle with some aspects of attachment - Morgan remains uneasy of Sophie and doesn't really want to be in her presence. However, she will play Duplo blocks and share Cheerios with her big sister and is beginning to mimic her behavior...good and bad. The things she most dislikes are the physical hugs/pats on the back that Sophie attempts to give her. It's going to take time for them to work out the "terms" of their sisterly relationship, but we are certain that they'll get there. It won't be long before they realize they can gang up on us to get what they want!
This week has given us opportunities to get out and about as the weather has improved, minus the storms and tornadoes of this weekend. The girls both do better if we're enjoying the fresh air, so we went shopping, broke in the backyard swingset, braved the whole "first-restaurant-with-both-of-the-girls" experience and attended a fantastic Korean Adoptee Family Festival in our area. The girls behaved wonderfully and both enjoyed the change of scenery. All in all, this was a good week.
Oh, and don't look now, but our little Sophie turns 3 in one week. Someone tell me, how can this be?!

Watching the performance with wonder...
Traditional Fan Dance...
That's our tiny Sophie breaking a board as part of the Tae Kwon Do demonstration...
Even she's surprised (and very proud) that she broke it!
Big Sis and Little Sis...
They both spotted a bug...
The girls LOVED my attempt at noodles with black bean sauce...we had it in Korea and it was delish!

Glad to hear everything is progressing well (or as well as can be expected). Your girls are just such cuties! BTW, LOVE the I was worth the wait oneise - where did you get it?

Thanks Yvonne! The onesie was actually from Old Navy a year or two back - Sophie wore it and now, Morgan gets to get some good out of it. I know that I've seen similar onesies on Cafe Press if you're interested.
