Tiny P’s Big Day…
We were excited to meet our little girl, but she had no idea what was about to happen. She went to bed that night, surrounded by the people she loved, and she had no idea that the next day she would be handed off to strangers. We would essentially become kidnappers, and she would go through the most horribly traumatic day you can imagine.
 For little M, family day has evolved into a huge thing, and she plans all year long how we will celebrate her special day. She makes the whole day about her, and she LOVES her day. Baby J enjoys a more low key celebration. He loves to receive gifts, and he enjoys going out to dinner, but anything more tends to stress him out.
Tiny P’s day will be different. This was very likely one of the worst days of her life… and even though it was a joyous day for our family, it seems wrong to celebrate.
We have some gifts for tiny P that we bought for her while we were in China, and we will save those for when she is older. Right now, of course, tiny P has no opinions about her family day, but when she is older we will follow her lead and be respectful of the fact that she may not want to celebrate this day. And that will be fine…
Tomorrow is tiny P’s family day. The day she became ours, and we became hers.
We will spend it the way we spend every day…
We will spend it loving our girl, and being thankful that tiny P is with us, her family.
