[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 394120, member: 4264"] Thanks DDD, I hadn't thought of that! easy child won't be here for a few days initially. difficult child will of course come out to say hi and stuff, but he hangs in the "bat cave" of his bedroom. So it's going to be easy going for a few initial days which will be nice. I think its a great idea if she seems bummed or noticing being unable to gift back, to give her and easy child some time shopping. There's a nearby nicer dollar store and if I give the money to easy child and get them to shop for "joint" gifts, perhaps we can do a little gift exchange instead of her just receiving. Hadn't even considered that. I think the day I'm a bit concerned for her comfort level is New Year's eve since I have my cousin, her b/f and her son coming over, plus my aunt is stopping by. I've asked my aunt to come a few hours ahead of my cousin, she isn't staying for a family game night or dinner anyhow. So it'll just be us here and her stopping by for coffee, so it will be relaxed. And my cousin and I spoke and I've asked her to speak to her son who is in his teens and a great kid, about being low key when meeting Josie and letting her set the tone. If she seem shy or awkward, give her space. If she's more happy go lucky and into doing stuff with him and easy child right away, great. I've also asked my cousin to explain that perhaps for a bit us adults will play cards in the kitchen and maybe just let the kids take over the living room. Having just easy child, my sis and my cousins son might make it easier, especially with a Kinect and Rock band to distract them and keep socializing based on gaming (my sis loves gaming). I'm glad I'm perceptive and I absolutely want to go with the flow based on how she feels and seems. easy child and I have talked about it too. Since they've been burning up the internet chat program though, they are seeming thick as thieves so hopefully the initial awkward thing goes away quickly. And yes, I'm pretty excited lol. Regardless of any bumps, nothing but good can come from spending time with her. Gosh I cried wondering about her and safety and thinking for over 10 years she'd never even know she had a sister.
