JSQ's Adoption Blog

Today Vi went to the Broken Arrow Church of Christ for the first time. All in all, both her and Q did very well and were quite tolerant of the attention. Just two weeks ago, Vi cried if a man made eye contact with her, and today she survived being surrounded and even patted on the back by a few people, including some men.

Going to church also meant 2 20 minute car rides today, and Vi didn't even flinch. She now begs to go outside even asking to be put in the car from time to time. As long as she has her noisy puppy dog, she seems to be content to look out the window or laugh with Quentin.

Vi continues to adjust very well to our family and home, but we're not over the jet-lag yet. It's mostly our fault for not reducing the length of her naps (4 hours today...my fault), but we're so worn out during the days that we tend to oversleep during her naps. Undoubtedly, sleeping a normal schedule will make things much easier for her and us.

Quentin and Vi really moved their relationship forward today. There were some fits on both sides of the aisle in the afternoon, but it only took a little joint tunnel playtime this evening to really clear things up. They are both still struggling with some jealousy and personality adjustments, but I think they're on the right track.
