Introductions - Day 5

We had our Little One all to ourselves today.  Her foster carers dropped her of this morning and headed off for the day.  We all anticipated that there might be an issue as they left but fortunately for all concerned there was no such problems.

Within minutes Little One was tipping her room upside down again until she found the paint set.  The three of us sat down to paint, it was a very messy affair, but fun.  At times Little One was more interest in squeezing the paint out of the pot rather than using it.  When I finally wrestled it from her grasp we had a mini tantrum but lucky, so far at least, her tantrums last about 30 seconds! Get in!!!!

We then headed off to the pre-school Little One will be going to.  It didn't take her long to be happily playing along with the other children.  The only tricky moment we had was when the kiddies sat down for a story.  Little One would sit by herself so I sat with her.  Half way through though she got bored so headed off to find Daddy.  In the process she found a plate of cucumber which she loves and managed to munch her way through at least half a cucumber.

So we headed back home for lunch.  Little One didn't want to go back into her buggy.  We managed to strapped in despite a mini tantrum.  As soon as the belt was clipped and we were on our way the tantrum was over.  Daddy made lunch, Little One eat every last little bit.  Seriously, this all sounds too good to be true.

Little One's foster carers came back to collect and we discussed the day.  It's clear how much they are going to miss Little One when she comes to stay.  They love her so much.

Daddy and I headed off to Sainsbury's.  We would normally do our food shop on a Saturday but the prospect of shopping with Little One tomorrow was a little daunting so we decided to do it this evening instead.  It was a very different shop.  It was the first time we had to do a shop for three rather than two and was a totally different experience.  Next time we do it Little One will be in the trolley making her demands!!! What joy!!!
