We arrived at their home and got big smiles and hugs by S while M was glued to the tv. She finally realized we were there and jumped up to greet us. We asked to see their rooms and quickly we were both escorted separately to an individual girls room. I went with S and Sean was with M. S walked me all around her room and showed me all of her photos and toys. She had a class photo and I asked her about who her friends are and she said that she did not have any friends. I told her that I would be her friend and she said "No, you are going to be my mom." I loved the fact that she said that and was extremely confident about it. She also showed me her guitar and play a couple strings for me. We next went to M's room and I walked in to see M starting to sing part of a song to Sean. She got a little embarrassed and stopped. I then checked out M's room while Sean went with S. I got a quick tour before dinner was ready.
We sat at a table with just M&S and ate lasagna and had ice cream for dessert. Dinner was amazing! We had little conversations with the girls and they did extremely well behaving and staying on track. A few times the girls did mention they were happy that we will be their new mom and dad.
We headed outside to play after dinner. Bouncing the basketball and playing frisbee led into playing baseball. We had such a great time running around teaching and chasing the girls. They are quite the pair! They introduced us to their uncle as their mom and dad, and a few times we heard the girls call out to us as 'mommy and daddy.'
7pm came quickly. We feel that we had a great visit with them and its a great start to a wonderful relationship. Tomorrow, we meet them for our first therapy appointment together. We also get to meet their biological grandparents and aunt. We look forward to meeting them and we know that they are extremely happy for the girls and their new chapter in their little lovely lives.
