Update while the football is on...
It has been been an amazing few days, and I can really see why the introductions have been structured in this way. We spent the first few days just getting to know her in her familiar environment, which has been lovely. She is always excited to see us, and gives us the biggest, sloppiest grin!
By Friday though, it was starting to feel quite difficult being at the foster carers' home, even though they have been very welcoming and have made very possible effort to make us feel at home. It's just that they do things differently - just as any other household does... Most of the time they tried to leave us on our own with her, which felt like very precious time, and we had such fun, just the three of us. However there were a couple of wobbly moments when our daughter was a bit confused when the FCs were around - it had got to the point where she is attaching to us, and letting go of them, but as with any transition, it confused her and prompted huge, storming tears. So even though we had a lot of lovely moments on Friday, by the time we eventually got home after a very long day, I just felt exhausted and grumpy.
But Saturday was fab!!!! She came to our home, and was all smiles. She just started crawling around like she owns the place - which quite frankly she does! We were all stunned by how at home she is here, and how well it's all going. We had another fantastic day today, until she left at 3:00. I have to confess that I am feeling really sad now, and missing her madly. I want her here, all the time, with us. Just got to wait till Tuesday...
