Do you guys want to see the care package I sent FuLannie after we got her referral?
--Of course we do! We thought you'd never ask!
Oh, well, since you're so excited, here it is:
Did you say you wanted a closer look?
- We sent some baby lotion (no dry skin for MY girl!)
- A disposable camera (we're hoping that the orphanage nannies are taking pictures of her but they will probably just shoot a whole roll on the day we pick her up).
- Little socks
- A teething toy
- A soft book for FuLan and one with a basketball that makes noise. I'm sure everyone is sufficiently annoyed with that
- A pig because she was born in the year of the Pig (Thanks for getting me another one, Erin!"
- A little outfit that says "Little Princess" since clearly I am the "Big Princess"
- A small blankie with an elephant and a really comfly blanket that I'm hoping she is using (I slept with it first. If she doesn't like how I smell, we're screwed)
- A polka dot onesie.
- A big bottle of lotion and an even bigger bag of assorted candy for the nannies (Lord knows I have a ton of candy in this house!)
- And lastly, a photo album with pictures of me, Cody, my Mom (Nana "Judy the Beauty"), Grandpa "Jimmy Angles," my Dad (Grandpa Cary), Grammy Carol Sue "The Redhead", Puppa Steve, and of course, everyone's favorite: Floyd Coden.
***BIG THANKS to Jake Clark for translating "Mama, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa and Dog" into Chinese for us. I was able to put the Chinese words in the book above our pictures so the Nannies can show FuLan who will be making her crazy for the next 40-50 years.
Cody made copies of FuLan's name in Chinese so I put "FuLan" on everything. Good thinking, right? It's good practice for her camp care packages but I will probably just walk to her cabin instead of mailing her stuff. Yeah--I'm sure she'll love that...
