More from Day 4
I know that Leslie posted earlier that it was a rough day, but I think God blessed us with positive signs as the day went on. As someone commented on our blog, while we thought we were coming for a toddler and were shocked to find a 4 year old infant, we can handle infants! God wanted us to save her and we will. We feel like we are seeing some progress in little areas. The biggie that did Leslie's heart so well was a giggle from our precious girl. We had made her a pallet on the floor to play with some toys. I had pulled her socks off hoping to give her every opportunity to be stimulated. So I was rubbing her feet and legs and then she laid down so I started rubbing her tummy. I then decided to see if she was ticklish and made my way up to her little arm pits. She is giggling out loud. It was so precious! Leslie almost got whiplash. It did the heart good. Enjoy the pics.
