(No decapitated creature attached to a blanket here!!) We've slept with this lion which is all micro-fleece and oh-so soft. There's also a Lamaze toy which has lots of different textures, the leaves crinkle and if you pull on the lady bug ring, the bee and the flower get pulled down into the green cup. I like it because it's easy to hang onto and great for teething. We included a disposable flash camera to which I attached the picture of Maisie waiving along with her name. A letter to the SWI Director was included, asking for the items to be given to Maisie and for pictures to be taken and the camera returned on "Gotcha Day." A bag of fun size M&M's was added for the nannies.The final item included is Maisie's Who Love's Baby book. A work mate of Eammon's wrote out captions for the pictures in Mandarin which I attached to each photo. Here are the pictures that we included along with the captions.
Baba Loves Wan Chun Miao
Mama Loves Wan Chun Miao
Mama and Baba Love Wan Chun Miao
Wan Chun Miao's bedroom
Wan Chun Miao's home and garden
Wan Chun Miao's friends and playmatesI really hope that these items get to Maisie and that the nannies take pictures of both Maisie and the SWI. Keeping my fingers crossed.

ReplyDeleteI know I am a bit late, (you'll understand once you are chasing your little one around!) but CONGRATULATIONS! She is so beautiful -- even without hair -- and that little picture with her waving just melted my heart. I know she will love her goodies. Sydney came to us on Gotcha Day clutching some of the things we sent her.
ReplyDeleteLisa, you are FOR SURE Maisie's mom, because of the way you are waving with your fingers just like hers in the photos! It's hard to do that, ya know. I tried and I can't put those two fingers close together like that!
ReplyDeleteShe will love her care package :)
That's a great care package, smart to sleep with the blankie! I just love her little jungle nursery, she is going to enjoy growing up in that room!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh - how incredibly sweet and so special. Maisie's Mom & Dad do love her so. XO
ReplyDeleteWe will keep everything crossed for you to but I am sure they will get there just fine.
