Well I'm not going to pretend that I wasn't apprehensive and a little scared about the trip to Indiana.... trapped, okay let's be nice and say "in" the car for 6 hours with a 6 year old and 2 and a half year old. It went well. Outstandingly well. If I had to give Will a grade it would be an "A+." Now Miss Grace (who is the queen of traveling), gets an "A+" too. There was no crying, tantrums, whining or any of those not so positive events that happen on a long car trip. For William it was his first time sleeping overnight in a new place, and we stayed 2 nights. I came well prepared with entertainment and food products. We spent a large part of Saturday with Dan's mom and William was polite and very funny. We went out to a park and had a picnic and of course did lots of playing, made some new friends and enjoyed the early Fall weather. 2 little kids can sure make a mess in a hotel room, I almost took pics. I kept comparing this little trip to our trip in China. William is so much calmer now, and genuinely happy most of the time. He really is a character. Progress continues every week.

So glad you all had such a good visit. Grace and Will deserve some special prizes for being such good travelers!
Great! Now that you know you have good travelers...the sky's the limit.
I am so happy it just keeps getting better and better :)
Gail, I'm so happy that William has grown so much, what a pleasure for you to have them get along well in the car.
OH what great pictures!!! I am so happy that your trip went well...that the car ride was blissful...and Sweet little Will is adjusting so beautifully!!!
Hugs to you sweet friend!!
The pictures are great and the news even better. Isn't it awesome how you can see Will's personality unfolding before your very eyes.
I found with both adoptions that 5-6 months was a huge change and the 11-12 month mark was an amazing difference. I have seen changes in Ethan this month that are so wonderful to see and we are 11 months in.
Hugs!
