The 'Sign' and when we noticed it -
10. Calls us Mommy/Daddy - at first it was Mother/Father in China
9. Sleeps w/pets - started this the first night were home
8. Wants to help out with tasks on her own - first few days home
7. Accepting of Dad's tattoos - third week home
6. Gives us hugs on her own - second to third week home
5. Likes to see family photos and extended family -second to third week home
4. Doesn't like us to leave -even if you are in the next room - this occured our second week home at Boys & Girls Club (I was working in the next room even) - doesn't even like to be in school w/o parent, but this is starting to fade
3. Would rather spend time with us (Mike and I) instead of going to work - started immediately when we went back to work - Mike first week home and Tara end of second week home. Sometimes she gets upset if it is not a work day and we have to work even a little at home. Keep in mind I only work 15 - 25 hours per week. It makes me sad because I know her days dreams of a family in China didn't include work.
2. Hops on our laps or sits next to us closely - maybe end of the first week or early second week
1. Says "I Love You" on her own....sometime in week 5 or 6. She only says it when we are saying good-bye or time for bed, although she did say it once in a conversation about family. She tells our dog Simba "I Love You" much more often - yet Simba will do anything she says :)
