1st Post-Placement Visit

I was sweating it today when Marlee was exhausted and screaming about 30 minutes before her social worker got here.  Of all the progress we've made, I was pretty sure things would look like they were falling apart for the social worker.  I did something I haven't done yet...put Marlee in her bed screaming.  I've been trying to make sure she felt loved, cared for and her needs met, but today, Momma needed a few minutes to get her composure before our home visit.  Of course Marlee stopped crying in about 90 seconds and fell fast asleep.  This was FAIRLY good news, but the social worker has to see Marlee which meant a shorter-than-normal nap.  I sure hate waking up a sleeping child!  We paid for that later this evening when she was a cranky mess at the restaurant, but she was a gem for the home visit.  Overall, we're adjusting well and got some great bonding/attachment/discipline tips from our wonderful social worker.  We don't have to do another for 6 months!  I wish everyone could see the progress she's made in the past 2 weeks.  It's amazing to even look back at pictures and see the void look in her eyes from the first few days to the joy she radiates now.  She's fantastic!!
