Day 1 - Rosie Learns About Us

From our social worker the night after she tells Rosie about us:

"Wanted to inform you that Rosie responded oh so ecstatically about her new family! She guessed that I had found her a family, screamed; then took a minute in her room to scream into her pillow.....SO APPROPRIATE!  Her first question was "when do I get to meet them?"  She initially indicated that she was nothing but excited, but once I gave her the "okay" to be nervous she quickly informed Marcy she was nervous and got a big hug.  According to Rosie, you Amy, are "sooooo pretty!"  She's pleased you guys used to work at McDonald's because we always eat there and loved the fact that you had been so many cool places. She's considerably excited about the animals and the walks to the park as well!  She definitely is struggling a bit with understanding what this means (despite the fact that it has been explained to her; that's my job!).  She curious if she can stay with you for a couple of months so you guys can "figure out if they can handle me."  I reminded her that your minds changing is not an option.  She also thought that September would be a good move in date (I have no idea where this came from.) I held off on giving her the calendar because I fear she may get overwhelmed. I will gauge this tomorrow as well, but for now just told her to think about things one day at a time."
