social worker visit

So today our social worker came for a visit and went over the paperwork and signed all the necessary pieces. He was shocked that this referral came so fast. We are thrilled and cannot wait to bring our little man home. One step closer to getting him home.

Jason and I cannot believe we are returning to China and going to fall in love with a little man and leaving another piece of our hearts there.

We know that his biological family had made a very hard decision. I pray for this family everyday in hopes that they will somehow know how much he will be loved and cherished.

WE ARE GOING TO CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!

outside..

 It's  amazing how taking the activities outside seems to have an different effect on the daycare kids.
They loved bringing most of the activities outside and spent 95% of the day outside. Miss Diva painting with one of her friends outside...

 She was all smiley and ready to go on the ice. She is so willing to try new things and enjoys it for the most part.

Miss Diva had a wonderful year in junior kindergarten. She really enjoyed her time with her teacher, Mrs. Annette Bishop. I believe God placed this teacher in our lives for a reason. She totally understood all my fears and concerns regarding her transitioning into school and all the anxiety that comes with it. She has friends with children from China and "gets it". This was a blessing to us!

She made me a little more at ease and Miss Diva built an attachment to her and really liked her. She was a little sad and cried when I told her that Mrs. Bishop was going to another school to teach different children that needed her help. She will be missed and our school, we lost a very good teacher..

Ms. Pippa Swart is the E.C.E in the classroom and Miss Diva had a harder time with building any sort of relationship until almost near the end of the school year. She will be moving on with Miss Diva to senior kindergarten with Gillian Bectloff. We will surely hear what she thinks of this come September..
