Emma's Home

Emma's home! She is precious and we are so blessed. I have to say that she is definitely a pistol. All of us that said there was more behind that smile were right.LOL Okay so guess what she came in? That dress and the hair extensions. I actually chuckled when I saw her. Emma saw me smiled and then told the nanny NO! when they told her to go to me. My heart broke knowing that her heart was broken. Instantly, I tried to bribe my daughter with gifts and candy. It sort of worked all though she still wanted nothing to do with us. She knew who Marshall and Dillon were, it was so cute when she said their name clear as day. The director and the two nannies walked her up to our room and while we distracted her with coloring they left. We had an hour in the room with her crying and calling out to her mom and baba. It was so sad, but knowing from my good friends that this was just a pat of the journey, helped me get through it. I was able to get her hair pieces out and take her fuzzy poncho and dress off but the back pack with all the stuff (but the panda we got her) we could not peal off of her. Even some of the new stuff we showed her, she would take her back pack off unzip it and put the new item in it and instantly place the bag back on her back. We each had to go down stairs and sign the paper work and place our thumb prints on the documents so I was able to get her settled down before each of us left. Oh, did I mention they gave me a bottle and some formula. Okay I am all for giving it to her if she needs it but I don't think she needs it, but in desperation a mom will do any thing. I made her a bottle and she just walked around with it biting the nipple almost as if it was a pacifier. I had purchased some look alike Dannon yogurt this afternoon (these come with straws) and gave her one of those and she seemed to like that a lot. The girl can drink out of a straw so she does not need a bottle. We made her some Ramen and she ate the whole pack. I had to barrow the Ramen form Sherry so I hope Wal-Mart carries it. I can not believe I forgot the Ramen, anyway moving on. It was time to take a bath and knowing that this may not be a fun time I put the swim suit on and got in the bath, oh did I mention that Emma did not want to take her back pack off? Ya the back pack and shoes were an issue. We just dove in knowing we were going to get some tears and tears we got. I washed her as quick as I could and Darrel sat and soothed her ready to take her out and dry her off and she wanted daddy. He always wanted a daddy's girl and it looks like he got one, guess where she is right now? Asleep in bed with him. My sweet girl, I hope tomorrow brings smiles. Oh she loves gadgets, girl after my own heart.

One of the pictures is her holding Marshall's IPOD up to her ear she was listing to music, she loves his IPOD.lol
