Meeting Tavi...

Where do I start? I am in love with a little girl with dark curly hair, big brown eyes, a free spirit and a beautiful smile. She walked into the room holding her nurses hands and my heart just fell out of my chest.

Tavi is adorable, friendly, loving, and so SMART! You could see her processing everything and she figured out everything so quickly. At 4 years old she is small, but not tiny, her weight is good, and she is not all that delayed. If you figure she was born 3 months premature, and has been blind her whole life and lived in an orphanage her whole life she is a little miracle!

John... YOU ARE GOING TO FALL for her as soon as she grins at you! LOL

I could say so much, but I am still processing a lot of it. It was a PERFECT day, and yes I will be crying when I leave both of them at the end of the week. I thought I owuld be okay wiht it, but as soon as Tavi walked into the room I thought "OH CRUD, I am going to be a mess!" :)

One more thing and then onto what you really want! For those of you who are planning on meeting your children soon the absolute best toy that I brought was 3 plastic rhthym eggs. They are easy to hold, they can hold one in each hand and they both fiugred out how to shake them slowly or fast and the sound would change. They love them! So I highly recommend them!

Okay, so here is Miss TAVI JOHN MAYDEN!



[This is Toni's brother, Alex. Tavi liked him! It was so cute, both the director and the nurse thought he was the to be dad... and then he started speaking to them in Bulgarian and they were shocked! We all thought this was so funny to all of us!]

  12. Kelly,

    I just showed Aidan and Ella the pictures of the girls.

    Ella said "Hi Aunt Kelly. I want to sing to Tavi since she can hear me."

    Aidan said "Maybe I can read a book to Tavi since she can hear, or maybe I can play music for her. Maybe I can give her some information about dinosaurs."
