Awesome! Go Charlotte! It can seem that the children are ready, and the parents are surprised.But it is such a happy moment to know that your child is ready. Yesterday at our first day there was a crowd of parents around the corner who were crying because their child just waved them away. Bittersweet. :) :)
This comment could be written on any given day in response to any one of your posts but I have been wanting to write it for some time. I never know when I open your blog if I will laugh or cry, if my heart will break for you or leap for joy. I have on a few occasions went months without reading and then discovered such highs and lows in catching up that I could think of nothing else for the rest of the day as if I know you personally. I have thought of you and your beautiful family daily and continue to wait anxiously for the arrival of your little one and am so grateful that a happy ending to the latest part of your family’s journey is nearing and new beginnings are just around the corner.
Alicia S - I AM! I’ve been bragging to everyone lol. I just wish I could have seen it…it’s hard to equate the behavior la maitresse described with what I see. It’s not that I don’t think she’s compassionate, but I’ve just never seen her reach out to another child like that, you know?
Mary Ann - OMG, summer’s over and I still didn’t finish your e-mail!!! WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER!! I want to hear all about Croatia! (Sorry I’m so e-mail lame recently!)
Julie - This is one of the sweetest comments ever. Thank you =) We’re very excited for the happy ending around the corner too!

I would have been absolutely exploding with pride when they told me about her putting her arm around the other child. That’s remarkable!
