I came out of the elevator and walked to her. She gave me the biggest smile and it has been a love affair ever since. She screams and laughs and I know she was meant to be ours. Julie was able to videotape the meeting for me (thank you!) and I was able to videotape her meeting with Miles. I was doing well until her foster mother gave me the following handwritten list:
1. She likes music
2. She likes to play
3. She likes to have someone sing to her
4. She loves to play with her little blanket
5. She likes a lot of covers when she sleeps
6. She takes milk with her cereal
7. She loves juice
8. She eats only Gerber baby formula
9. She says Mama
10. She can walk with a walker
11. She loves to dance
12. She likes Mickey Mouse cartoons
13. She doesn't ever like to be alone.
Thank you for knowing all these things about our daughter. We will forever be grateful for your love and kindness...Dennis+Mia+Laurie+Mazlin
Yesterday was a big day for us. We moved (or so we thought) Mia into her big girl bed. We dismantled the crib and made a very big deal out of Mia's new sleeping quarters. Our excitement was short lived. At 2:30am Dennis and I both agreed the crib was coming back. It is 11:02pm and she is sound asleep in her crib. Live and Learn. Mazlin will stay in a crib until she can tell us otherwise.
