Who are you?

I think all the time about our soon-to-be new addition.  What kind of personality will they have?  A mom adoption from the same orphanage recently saw my kiddo and said that they seemed shy.  I have two shy girls so shy won't bug me at all.  I am constantly explaining to well-meaning strangers (mostly older ladies who try so hard to provoke a smile from one of my little ones) that May and Dee Dee are

I went shopping at Old Navy today and it had me imagining what our newbie will like, what they think is funny, what is their favorite color?  I bought clothes that matched my children's personality --


A cat t-shirt for Tate.  She LOVES quirky graphic tees!


An I love you hand for Autie.  She does this through the car window every morning as she is going into school.  I love that girl!

But what will my newbie be like?  I have two daughters that are outgoing, two that are super shy.  My oldest is very sarcastic and sardonic, and has been from a really early age, and Dot and May May don't "get" sarcasm.  We have to be careful about what we say around them because sarcasm is just lost on them!  Dot LOVES hugs and kisses and is very affectionate, May May tells me daily, when I kiss her, that she doesn't like kisses because I kissed her too much when she was a baby. (LOL!!)  Dee Dee is silly and spunky, May May is very low key and serious.  They're all too smart for my own good!

I guess you could say we're prepared for any combination of traits and can't wait to meet this kiddo! :-)
