Riley spent the last three months being angry and hostile towards me. She was not having this whole little-sister thing, and I was the brunt of her anger. But the last several days she has been like a whole new person. She's been really affectionate with me, wanting to snuggle and hug all the time. She wants to hang out with me even! I think we're starting to see our little girl coming back and what a relief it is. I must admit I'm happy she is liking me again :)
However, both girls continue to generally dislike sisterhood. On rare occasions they will enjoy each other. Sometimes I see a glimmer of compassion from Riley. Sometimes Sunder thinks big sister is neat. But mostly...NOT. I have reconciled that at this time they prefer to be kept apart and I'm now ok with that. Riley eats breakfast in the dinning room. Sunder eats in the kitchen. They are both much happier at breakfast time now. At other times throughout the day one is sent off for "alone time" while the other gets mommy-time. I hope it's not like this forever, but we're meeting the girls where they're at and working with it.
On an unrelated note:
I'm starting Sunder's adoption video today! I'm am so excited. Here are the songs we've chosen-
Imogen Heap- "Hide and Seek"
U2- "Sometimes you can't make it on your own"
Rob Thomas- These Small Hours (Little Wonders)
This last song is the one which I named the blog after!

I swore I left a comment on Friday, but I see that it never showed up. I'm happy to hear that Riley is liking you again. It is difficult when your child is holding a grudge. Sorry to hear the girls still aren't friends. Maybe with more time and maturity.
