Feeling happy tonight.
Made a DVD for our new LO to be to watch with their foster carer.
FC watched it yesterday and could tell from their message that they weren't that keen on it.
Bit gutted as spent hours making it.
Anyway, heard from FC today that LO really loved it and has been watching it over and over again! She is trying to interact with us and talking about living here.
So relieved

As long as LO loved it, who cares about the others?  |

Hopefully before Christmas but not too close...
Yes very exciting/terrifying!
FC are lovely, think they maybe just hadn't used a DVD like ours with a LO before!
Just heard LO in the background when on phone to FC, rather special little moment...

So pleased LO likes the DVD - it will probably be her favourite for years to come!
Our LO sees our book today... I am petrified he won't like it / us! Ax

I quite liked the dvd the blonde bombshell's prospectives sent, probably not for the right reasons though! the bbs didnt show much interest but loved the photo book. personally I hate the tomy photo albums that always arrive for bubs before they move but the bubs love them and as said its the child you need to get on side! got another one due any day but at least little man isn't able enough to constantly turn the pages himself so it'll all be in my control. mwahaha!

Annie have you heard how it went? Did LO think you were weirdos?!! it's scary isn't it, we so want the first impressions to be good - think that's why I was so gutted that the FC weren't keen on the DVD.
LO has been naming us all watching the DVD, laughing at DH and working out where her chair is going to be at the table so ever so pleased!
Yes LOBs we did torture the FC by sending a Tomy album too plus a photo book.... Bet they are completely sick of the DVD too by today!!
Other two are very excited Flowerpower and very keen on being the BIG ones.
They really got into making the photobooks and DVD and good opportunities to talk a bit more about when they came to live with us and how we did the same then.
Some anxiety too - youngest more controlling and oldest more clingy.
Best comment from eldest was -
"when tiddler lives here I'm going to teach her to share.... (bless, I'm thinking)
all her toys with me" (that's more like it!)

Did they say why they didn't like it?? Thinking back to all the ones I've seen I can't see how there could be anything in one not to like!
LOBs, your comment about the Tomy album made me laugh because I know that "brrrriiinng!" as the page turns only too well! I love those albums though because quite often it's the first time I get to see the new family properly, as well as the little one.

Hi Oogles... thanks for asking  He loved it apparently ... kept saying he couldn't believe how we knew his favourite things!!! the FC videoed him looking at it again at bedtime and sent it through for us so we had a very tearful evening watching and re-watching it! we have to make a video message today and email it and he is making one too... So pleased your LO liked the DVD and that they can imagine LO coming to live with you... even though access to more toys is top of the agenda! Look forward to chatting over intros if we have any energy left to post! Axx |

So pleased for all of you. Just made me realise I've got to be a bit more technologically advanced! Did you just use a phone to record the video? I know I have a long way to go but must get prepared!

Thanks Vicky!
Used friends digital camera video mode to record lots of short clips, then Windows Movie Maker (available free) to put them all together and sound track and commentary over it. (We have very creative friends!)
