The Girls At Home












We see changes every day in the girls. Kistet's becoming very comfortable expressing all of her frustrations and jealousies as well as her charm, and Grace is stronger and more lively and giggly as ever. They couldn't be more opposites. Because of her strong personality, I think Kistet received all the attention and was allowed free rein for anything in the orphanage; whereas Grace never received much attention because she was so quiet. So Grace is thriving with all this attention in the family, but Kistet is finding out about rules, boundaries, nap times, schedule, sharing, all those fun things that makes a kid want to scream--and boy, does she ever!
