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.

My First "Gotcha" Day!

Gotcha Day is certainly a celebration for adoptive families. It's a tradition we chose to include in our family, ensuring to spend the day remembering our China journey as a family. We started our day taking big brothers and sister to school. Rachel and I then went to local photographer to have her "2-year-old" picture taken; figured it a good day every year to have her picture taken for both milestones. In her red polka dot dress, Rachel warmed up for a few smiles and had fun being the star of her own photo session. She's use to a lot of attention albeit she is not sure how to handle it all yet. After that we drove to downtown Dallas to check out The Crow Collection of Asian Art. It was a murky day with lots of low rain clouds and drizzle; exactly like it was this very day in Guanghzhou last year! Exactly. We parked and walked the streets of downtown, which really could have been any major city in the world at that point. The skyscrapers were masked with th...

"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!
