Ivan

Perhaps you would like to drop these two off at Kindergarten and Grade One to start your day? These lively little folks are affectionate, expressive and loving. They both love to play games and I am sure they would let you win once in a while if you were to play cards or a board game with them.

Krystal is the older of the two and she is fast becoming an excellent reader. She also loves to swim, work on computers and dance. Krystal loves babies and can be sensitive and eager to please. Krystal will need some help in establishing some boundaries with people she is just getting to know. In school she is well liked by her teacher and is always the first person to put up her hand with an answer. She has lots of enthusiasm and is very playful. If you disappoint Krystal it may take her some time to forgive you again but when she presents you with one of her pieces of art, you know you have been forgiven. This is one determined little girl! Last summer she developed calluses on her hands while mastering the monkey bars. Now that shows dedication!

Ivan is currently in kindergarten. Like his sister, he loves to play cards and board games. Ivan also loves physical activity especially boating, camping, hiking, baseball and bowling. He is a very engaging little fellow who exhibits good problem-solving skills. He knows what he wants and is not afraid to do what he needs to do to achieve it. Ivan also loves babies and his enthusiasm sometimes needs some guidance to maintain safety. He loves physical attention and is willing to climb up on your knee to get some affection. He makes strong connections with the adults in his life and is described as an endearing little handful!

Both these children require lots of attention. If you have lots to give and are willing to keep them connected with a younger sister and explore some form of contact with birth family, perhaps these are the children to complete your family. They are definitely a dynamic duo with lots of good times ahead.
