Millie at 4!!
Well it's her Birthday and she started school today in the pre-K program. How come all of Millie's first have to be my last's? I have tried to embrace every minute of Millie growing up, but still feel like she is getting to big too fast. When I left her in the classroom today she couldn't wait for me to leave, she was waving at me and giving me big hugs before I left. I love that she can adapt so well, going to childcare has helped us with that, but I still worry because Millie has soooo much energy. The age of 4 means so much around our house, she has become a big girl with big idea's, she isn't a toddler anymore, she a little person with so much to say, do, and explain to us how to do. Her birthday party was so nice because we just had a small get together with fun playing for her and cake, all Millie wanted was for everyone to sing to her. Mermaids are the big thing this year and she was showing off her dress that Momma and Daddy gave her as a gift the entire day.
This one is for Millie. As we sat down everynight before you went to bed, we spelled your last name, counted how many letters were in your entire name, practiced your address and phone number, recited your birthdate and then we prayed. Your prayers were Now I lay me down to sleep, and then you thanked God for Everyone that you could think of that you love, and before we finished you prayed for your birthmother in China, and we thanked God for her love that brought you to us and wished she could see how much we love each other. That is really hard for me to say without crying so you say it for us without batting an eye, your so brave and smart it melts my heart angel face. Then as I watch you pray for her and hope she is happy, you ask God in the sweetest voice I have ever heard if he could please, please, please bring you a mermaid fin for your birthday so you can swim in the water like Areil. That makes me laugh and we hug and kiss so many times before you go to sleep. Thank you for all of you memories that make me feel so full of love and happiness.

3 years since we gottcha!!!
It's been so long
Millie is growing so fast, I have been so busy with being an adult student that I have not had very much spare time to catch up on this blog. But I am going to make this a goal of mine for Millie. She is now 3, she is still going to school. Millie is getting ready for Halloween and is going to be Tinker Bell!!!! The pictures will show the glam of her outfit. Millie went to the beach this summer to her grandparents house and had the time of her life swimming in their pool and in the ocean, which made me very nervous. Her favorite TV show is Mickey Mouse so we are planning to go to Disney World. That is what has started this Tinker Bell obsession. I took her to see Disney on ice this past summer and she fell in love with Tinker Bell, Millie thinks that she can skate on Halloween as Tinker.

TIME is moving too FAST!!
I have missed being able to sit down and write about Amelia and what she is doing!!! And there really is no excuse for me not doing it other than I have no time. I'm in school all day, with Millie till she goes to bed and then it's study time. I just won't sit down and write anything, I have to feel it. Lately that has been a struggle. Millie is potty trained and has been since the weekend after Thanksgiving. She spent Thanksgiving in Florida with her Mawmaw and Pawpaw and Daddy this year. I was unable to go because of school. She loves to swim, and they have a pool, so she was in heaven. When she came home in the airplane, I waited at the gate for them, with tears in my eyes of course, she was very happy to see me. All she could do was put both arms around her Daddy and Mommy's neck and scream. Christmas was a very big deal this year, pure excitement. Her favorite toy was her jumpy. We have wore that thing out. It has a hole in it now so we need to patch it. She is full of energy. Santa still gets talked about once a week or so. The lights on houses and at the Zoo were a huge hit. It has been awhile since I have gotten this excited about Christmas. I can't wait till next year. Millie is back in School (daycare) and she is loving it. She can count to 30, knows all of her ABC's even recognizes them on paper, trying to write her name. She loves to drawl and color, loves Elmo and Mickey Mouse. She has learned so much in the past 4 months that I can't believe how much she has absorbed. I hated the thought of her going to daycare from the very start, but it has made such a big difference in Millie's speech. She is pretty clear now, still some area's that need to be worked on, but that will come. The daycare talks endlessly about how smart she is, and I hope that she keeps it up, I don't want her to struggle with learning the way I do. But she does get into trouble at home and in school for attitude and behavior. She is a live wire and as I have heard many times, a leader and not a follower. She tries to run the show in every situation, and will not give up, but neither will I, most of the time. She is the light of my life and I thank the big guy everyday for the gift he gave me.
