Lera and Hannah love the WETA KIDS channel! :) ...three days into school and I just wanted to sit there watching them, like they were watching t.v.. With their pack packs on, waiting for the school bus to come and take them to school, I couldn't take my eyes off of them! So I grabbed my cell phone and took a picture. :-) How did I get so blessed? Maybe I couldn't take my eyes off of them because they looked so cute and clean after a fresh bath...or maybe it was realizing I wouldn't be spending every waking moment of the day with them anymore...no more summer days at the pool, staying until it closed and walking home for bedtime (I mean until they fell asleep)...no more running up to the snack shack for cheetos (Lera's favorite) and goldfish (Hannah's favorite)...no more soaking in the sun and being lazy watching them play in the pool...no more asking them to take their swim test so they could go off the diving board and slide (they both certainly know how to swim, just waiting for them to swim across the pool - on their own - with no help - or touching the wall, or ropes)...no more pull-ups...YES! I said it, and it's TRUE!!!...Lera has not worn a pull-up to school all week and has managed to stay dry all day!!! (well, she did have 1 change on Monday and 1 change on Tuesday, but NOT on Wednesday! ~ She did it! And if it wasn't for her laughing so hard at home, all because she and Hannah had way, too much fun, goofing off, with their super - COOL - big brother, Caleb, that it made her pee her pants, she would still be dry after school too! But hey, that happens, right?!) Back to my story with the picture I posted...if you look closely, you can see Hannah is wearing glasses, not just any glasses, but the ones from Kindergarten that we lost and were recently found when I was cleaning up some old stuff we didn't need anymore. The amusing part was watching her put them on her face...she brushed her hair carefully behind each ear (so cute!) and proceeded to put them in place while watching t.v. The same glasses she wouldn't keep on her face, suddenly appeal to her, and she wants to keep them on! Well, most of the time...almost never taking them off, she went to school with them on all week! The note in her back pack after school, said - she kept them on for most of the day! YES, it's TRUE! She finally wants to wear glasses!!! - But guess what happened next? She LOST them again!...Somewhere between her teacher writing me a note to say she kept them on most of the day to catching the bus back home at then end of the day, they went missing, LOL! Oh well, I hope they turn up in school today. But if not, there is still hope for our girl because she has a doctor's appointment coming up next month with the eye doctor and she will probably get new glasses, anyway. I can't wait for our two little joys to come home from school today! First thing I want is two BIG hugs and two High Fives. By then I will know if Lera stayed dry all day when I see the outfit she is wearing, and will be able to tell if it's the same one she had on when she left for school or not...and, if Hannah has her glasses on, the mystery will end there...unless we have to wait for her to get new ones. ;-)
What do YOU see when you look at my 2 little girls? I see HOPE and a FUTURE (Jeremiah 29:11). I see HUGE mountains God moved to rescue them both. I see ORPHANS just like them waiting to be adopted. And I WON'T give up on them! Please PRAY for MORE orphans to be found by their forever families - You can READ all about our journey and inspiration to adopt in a BOOK I wrote - Chasing a Dream Where the Sunflowers Grow - Thank you!!!

Big girl glasses and underwear

There is so much to thank God for, isn't there? I'm sure you are your children's best cheerleader!
ReplyDeleteHi Marisha, You are my very first commenter, thanks!! Yes there's never a dull moment with them! :) I will always cheer for my kids!!!!!!!!!! and grand kids!! :)
DeleteOh those are HUGE celebrations! I cannot wait until I can say that Nichole is potty trained! And I am not sure if she would keep glasses on either. So yeah, high five for mom, and for the girls!
ReplyDeleteHope you join again next week!
Thanks Ellen! I'm looking forward to your next writing prompt!:) I hear you on wanting Nichole to be potty trained. Though we are not putting pull-ups on Lera anymore, she is not all the way there yet. By the way, Hannah's glasses were found at school the next day. So Maybe when Hannah gets her next pair of glasses, she will be glasses trained at the same time Lera will be potty trained. ;)
