Day 2 - We meet Rosie

Tuesday, as I got out of the car Rosie burst out of the door, shouted "Amy!" and ran back in. As we approached the door, I could hear her and her foster sister scream with excitement. The screams made me laugh a little, calmed my nerves that had become so on edge I nearly puked as we pulled into the driveway.

The second we were in the door Rosie was bursting out of her seams with excitement. She had to show us everything at once: her room, her recorder playing skills, her Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) moves, and the Sorry Slide game she got for Christmas.

She brought out our book and walked us through it, proudly reciting our wedding anniversary, birth years, and ages. She told me she LOVED to bake and Mike she LOVED to read. Then she turned to my running picture and said "This is going to be a problem." I laughed and told her she didn't have to run with me. She clarified that she doesn't like being hot.

She was excited to learn Mike was a scientist because that is the subject she has an A+ in. All other subjects she is getting an A.  We were only there for about two hours, and they sped by.
I know this is just a little bit of newly formed parental pride, but I think she's really talented, gorgeous and smart! I feel so blessed she's part of our life.
