PICKING HER UP TOMORROW!

[lbey]

Tomorrow we are picking our daughter up to spend the holiday together!
Her room is ready with tons of clothes and toys. I so hope she will like it!

That is so very exciting for your family! I hope you have a nice holiday. What a special time for you all. I'm sure she will be as nervous as you guys are. Remember that this will be a big transition for her, so embrace it all, even if it is not all roses at first. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Update: The visit went way better than we though! I though she would cry when we would pick her up but no, she was excited!
We were told she doesnt listen, doesnt have any relationship with people, no hugs, doesnt play with other kids, doesnt like noises and many other things. We prepared ourselves for the worst. When she was here, she was great to me and we even had a playdate! I know it is probably because everything is so new but that showed me what she is able to be like so we will remember that during the hard times...lol
There were couple things that we learned and didnt know before such as; we asked foster if she was on.meds and foster said only melatonin and Miralax. The girl came with 5 different pills one being for depression. I asked why she was taking something for depression and foster said it was to improve her mood. The other meds kinda make sense with the ASD diagnose and we did see the difference as the med wears of towards the night and A. gets very hyper. I told Foster about my observation and she said we could give one more dose in the afternoon and I was like, no , I dont wanna give more meds just to make her easier at night. I dont know, but I have taken care of way harder kids when I was a nanny. I mean, I have taken care of kids that were kicked out of school because of behavior and I was able to help. When I had A., I didnt feel she was any harder, in fact, she was much easier! Yes, we can tottally see why she was diagnosed with ASD,she does behave like a 3 year old, but I felt comfortable with her.
Our next visit will be on the 12th and she moves in on the 19th. I am nervous that she is very attached to her foster. She absolutely loves her foster, which is wonderful, my kid will have an extra nana! But it will be so hard on her...We have agreed to have visits with one being after Xmas and I will send her to nana for a sleep over.
Now I am home and everything is very boring and quite. I miss her already...
