ELMO Live




Rachel and Mommy had a special Elmo matinee together Friday morning; a birthday gift. It was a great time to spend special time with this special girl! It's hard to believe we still haven't been home a full year yet...just 9 months so far. Like any adoptive parent will say, it's like she's been with us all along.

Rachel LOVED the Elmo show as she clapped, waved, and squealed "Elmo" most of the 2-hours from our 3rd row seat. She really wasn't scared until the characters got a little too up close and personal. These guys are already like 7-ft tall...can't even imagine what they must look like to a 2-year old! I mean, for Rachel, Elmo and friends are only about the size of a 27" TV screen in her real world. So when they walked down from the stage to our aisle seat to shake Rachel's hand...well it just didn't happen! I mean, I like "Super Grover", but yowza...doesn't Grover look more like "arrrgh!" than "hi boys & girls"? Ha Ha. The show was all about Elmo's sunflower and how to best care for it, all the while Abby Cadabby has 'poofed' them all to the size of ants, or rather ladybugs. Very cool, since ladybugs are big in Chinese adoption; a sign of good luck.

"Cupcake" For DS

So today as I'm spending a few hours writing up our report for our 1-year post adoption appointment with our case worker, Rachel is off to the side "using her imagination". Such a proud Mommy I am. My little darling using that noggin to discover the next cure for the common cold, of course. So did I laugh out loud or what when Rachel started singing "Happy Birthday Mommy" and presented me with a special "cupcake". Yes, that is a half-eaten apple with a Nintendo DS stylus tucked in the top just like a candle. I've told my boys to keep their games out of reach...oops!

MY FIRST EASTER!

Rachel had no problem learning how to collect eggs. She just kept going and going like and Energizer Bunny. We attended our church's Easter Speggtacular at a local park. Our kiddos covered all 4 age groups, so we came home with over 200 eggs...seriously! That said, we had an impromptu egg hunt in our greenbelt with our neighbor friends! Rachel's new vocabulary word for the week is 'EGGS' with the obligatory exclamation point thrown in!
