Check out my pinterest board. it's the latest land of nod small pink print: duvet cover, pillow cases, and curtains for the closet. Yesterday I got a small chevron (gray and white) print sheet set for the beds. I'm getting somewhere! Now onto crafts!
Recap: As soon as we got there Big Sister ran toward me saying, "Mandy! It's my birthday!" OMG she knows my name? lol They are super cute. Big Sister talked constantly, and little sister barely said three words. That might be an issue, not sure. I need some time to process, but I'll be back with more details soon! We're going to visit again Monday.
Big Sister talks non-stop, little sister can barely get a word in! I spent some time with her one-on-one today and got her talking so I'm not too worried about that. They were both pretty affectionate (which is sad since they'll basically go to anybody), but also nice b/c it seems like they'll be able to attach pretty quickly. We found out more details about their history (terribly upsetting, of course), but I'm glad to have that information. They are both ADORABLE. It doesn't look like we'll be able to get them into Montessori, so disappointing, but we should still be able to find something pretty good for them (or at least Big Sister to start with). I'm nervous about having all three of them alone, but so excited about our lives together! I keep having moments like, "Oh! Swimming lessons! Dentist appointments! Dance lessons!" I'm getting way ahead of myself, as usual. They're coming to our house for the first time tomorrow morning, then we should have a better idea of what we need to do next. Thanks for reading my rambling!
They're moving b/c current foster family isn't pre-adoptive (and the FCM and foster family all think it's going that direction). Permanence hearing is in September. Current foster family is VERY nice and helpful in the transition. We've talked a lot about all the behaviors, and will continue to do so.
