God has given me the gift of a fairly clear schedule this week so that I can prepare to travel. Now I am getting excited! I was able to do a couple big shopping stops today to get all kinds of stuff. I laugh when I see what is laying all over my bedroom floor--mostly food! I have a very large bag of clothing for our girl and also to donate to the orphanage. I have some gift items--sort of like "housewarming" gifts. I have no idea how this "stuff" will be received. I have purchased a lot of items to entertain little miss. I have enough of that kind of stuff in my house to run a preschool, but I just had to buy new and more! I think I have lots of experience entertaining children her age. I just wish I knew what she would really like. I hope I hit the jackpot with some play item...if not, I have lots of other "tricks" in my bag!
Bill is completely confident that she will love him right off the bat--he's probably right. He seems to have that gift. He really is like a carnival--all the treats, candy, twirling, horsey rides you want. It may all backfire this time. Not sure what she thinks of men and especially men who may try to toss her in the air! Bill should stick with Smarties and Dum-Dums for the first day.
Well, this week will get spent packing, doing laundry, cleaning, packing Ryan for camp, stocking groceries--all the stuff I normally do before traveling and leaving my children. I am so blessed with a wonderful family and friends who will hold down the fort while we are gone.
It really is indescribable to think that I will be laying in bed a week from now, probably unable to sleep, imagining how meeting our little girl will go. I have to keep reminding myself that I haven't seen her in 15 months--it has been that long since her photo was taken. I bet she has changed a lot. I can't wait to see her and what she looks like now. We did not receive any recent photos of her or any video, just the official registration photo. Can't wait to see her personality. I love her, I just wish I knew her!
Soon, baby. Soon.
