Yesterday, Tae wore jewel stickers on her ears…she was ecstatic that everyone at school might think she had gotten her ears pierced. She told me she thinks she might be ready for pierced ears when she turns 6…might be ready…she is still thinking about it. I like that she is not ready yet.
Just curious…what age do you think it is appropriate to pierce a child’s ears?
She wrote her name on the back of each card…a total of 22 consecutive times...
She was over the moon about getting her store bought cards…
We made two attempts to make our own…each time she was “out” by card two…
She said she only wanted “store bought” cards…
And now she is happy.
Isn't she wonderful???
She may drive me a bit nutty at times…but I love her. She melts my heart. She is wonderful.
People were stopping in front of our house to watch this man trim our trees…I have to say it was amazing.
defiance: open, bold, or hostile refusal to obey or conform.
Also known as five going on six year olds….
Taking a picture of a shadow of your own two hands is hard to do….I had to use my chin.
I can feel pieces of me coming back together. I can feel parts of me healing. I can feel my smile spread across my face…spontaneously throughout the day. I have been broken and lost…I have been sad. I feel this huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders…from my heart.
I feel like choices and answers have brought the light back into my spirit.
Last month we decided on a great agency and a beautiful country for our adoption, we made changes to our adoption plan...changes that made my heart smile. I finally feel like we are making progress on our adoption. I feel like I can actually get excited about our journey…it may take us awhile to complete…but we have finally taken the next step. I rang in the New Year with a diagnosis of PCOS. This diagnosis gave me answers that I desperately needed. A new doctor was the answer to my female issues, a new doctor with a new plan. I feel like I have been given back the control I felt I had lost…the control I desperately needed. I felt so helpless with my last doctor, with her explanations of what was happening with my body. I don’t feel helpless anymore, I feel powerful. We have decided to try this new plan, to try again, something that is both scary and exciting.
Last month was full of choices and answers…full of progress.
I made this heart with the street light outside our house...fun right?
I (heart) her and the beautiful light she brings to our life...
