However I don't think it's like that with Davids. I could be completely utterly wrong, and I pray that I'm not. Do I think it's going to be all rainbows and puppies, no. I would think that anyone going into an adoption no matter what they age, etc knows there will be adjustments, knows there could be testing of the waters, etc. But I just don't see any signs of aggression in the slightest and we were warned that orphanages are typically rampant with that because they're kids on their own a lot. Today he thought it was "stupid" that I wouldn't allow him to ride a bike without a helmet. There are three helmets and unfortunately the other kids got them first. And we were told repeatedly that we could NOT let them ride anything without one... for liability, etc so I can't help it. And he thought it was stupid and said so, twice. Is that so out of range for a "normal" kid? I don't think so, but who knows. Just know that I am seeing what I am seeing and that if he's acting it's worthy of an Academy Award! :)
