Congrats. It's a life altering experience. I raised a son who's 25 now. I now am raising a foster 4yo little girl. Night and Day. I've got more time now than I did then, but less energy. Girls need more hugs and will give more love than my boy did. He was loved and we know he loved us, but acted, then and now, embarrassed to show it or say it. This little girl will stop anywhere, give you a giant hug and kiss and go right back to what she was doing. One thing that's different that I could do without is the squealing. That high pitched glass breaking kinda squeal. I'm telling you now, if they took 100 men with the same hearing intolerance I have and gave them guns, let a little girl direct that loud high pitched scream in our ear, we'd win the war in Ukraine in 20 minutes. It sets off my fight or flight instinct something terrible. Not sure why, but even with my hearing loss it has an incredible negative affect on me. When she starts it, my wife grabs her and I run for the hills.
