Introductions - Day 4

This morning the nerves were at fever pitch once again.  What was Little One going to think of her new home.

Daddy and I woke up far earlier than we needed to and after a trip to Sainsbury's for last minute essentials and a collection from the post office we had a quick tidy up and then waited nervously for our little arrival.

We live in a gated secure community (not sure whether it's the keep the riff raff out or keep us in!) and visitors need to be let in through the gate so when we the phone rang we knew they were outside.  We went to go a meet them and as Little One jump out of 'Baba's car' so was grinning widely and greeted us with a hug.

Once we were inside everyone's nerves (except Little One who didn't seem to have any) began to settle.  Little One was introduced to her new room and immediately began to rummage through all her new things.  The tidy room pulled apart in a matter of minutes.  At least she liked it!  'Come to my room' she'd say as she grabbed our hands and dragged us behind her.  We then had a trip to the museum which Little One decided acoustically was the perfect place to see how loud her voice was.

Then it was back home for lunch.  We had a few testing moments but that is to be expected and something we'll have learn to deal with.  All too soon it was time for Little One to go home.  We had a couple of tears as she was loaded into the car but we soothed them with a 'See you tomorrow' which she repeated with a smile.

Tomorrow she'll be here with us alone!!  Let's see what the day will be bring.
