Introductions - Day 3

Early start for us today. Alarm went off at 4:45am and I snoozed a couple of times, having felt like we had only just got off to sleep! (I guess this is our welcome to parenthood!!)

Arrived at the FC's house by 7:15am. When we walked up the front path we heard Raina in the lounge shouting "Mummy"!!

She was dressed and straight into cute cuddle mode. Mummy Hannah and Mummy Hannah both got there fair share of cuddles. Lots of role playing, she seems be at that age where she loves to play "where's Raina gone?" over and over and over.


Raina, Mummy Ruth and Mummy Hannah got their shoes and coats on and walked the FC older daughter to the bus stop to go to school. Raina loves her very much and  both will be sad when she comes to live with us. As they held hands we reassured the older child that we would make sure there was contact in the future.

We waved her off on the bus and went back to the FC's house. We are using the hand link, which is really helping with us walking with Raina on the streets, as she does have a habit of running off.

Mummy Ruth fed her breakfast and then Raina did lots of dancing.

Yesterday we took Raina out to the local park and today we went further afield; about 30 minutes on the bus to a soft play centre. We stayed about an hour and Raina loved it. We had to manage our first 'playground fight', nice to see Raina can stick up for herself. It was a new feeling for me; feeling protective of our daughter.

After that we went to have our first family lunch outing. Raina did well and is very good at saying please and thank you, which is very cute.

Just moments after finishing lunch came the horridness of our first pooey nappy. For someone so beautiful; Raina can make some ugly smells!!!! We worked as a team to overcome....meaning I swiftly passed it to Mummy Ruth.

Raina fell asleep on Mummy Ruth on the way home on the bus.

We played at the FC's house all afternoon and it all went very well. We did bath time and bedtime and it all went fairly well. So today we have covered breakfast, an outing, eating out, bath and bed and so much more!
