Introductions - Day 8

So we were hoping that Little One would be able to come home tomorrow but alas it is not to be and we will have proceed with tomorrow as the last day of introductions.  It's a bit of a pain in the butt but it's only on more day and we're still both super excited!

Another good day was had today.  After the disappointment of being told we had an extra day to wait we decided to make the most of it and after a hearty lunch we headed to the local soft play area.  Little One made a new friend and they played together in the plastic balls and up and down the ladders and slides.  Daddy and I and her friend's mother all joined in.  Her friend's mother seemed totally unfazed that Little One was calling us both daddy.  It all seemed so natural and fun.  I'm sure we'll come up against some ignorance at some point in the future but it's so nice to think that there are people you don't know who don't care if you aren't the same as them, just as long as you they can see how much you love your child.

Little One meet another neighbour today and got more presents.  Lucky little princess!

When we finally took Little One home she was quite tired (as were we!!!).  We got her ready for bed and tucked her in.  Unfortunately this was not as dreamy an experience as our last bedtime routine.  Little One cried and cried and cried and her foster dad had to let her stay up a little longer.  I sure it didn't help that she would have seen all of her toys boxed up and ready to come home with me and Daddy.  I'm pretty sure the next couple of days are going to be so hard for her but we will be here supporting her, and loving her every step of the way.
