Lulu Tidbits

Well, I'm back here before a month has passed. I thought I'd toss out some tidbits about my girl...

She started year two at her preschool - officially now in the ladybug class. New classroom, new cubby, proud girl. She just had to go to school in all ladybug attire - shirt, pants, socks, etc. She's one proud insect.

We were at a Burger King and there was a mom there with her two daughters. A California Highway Patrolman and father to the girls stopped in to eat with them. He was decked out in his CHP attire and Lulu looked up at him and told me, "Wow, that man has power." Surprised, I ask her where she learned that concept. "S-chool" (yes, it's always a two syllable word). "Look, see, he have a power in his pocket" then makes the pointer finger gun with her hand and says, "pow, pow, pow, like the power rangers." Oy. The stuff she gets from school..

We sent a package off this morning to Lulu's foster family. I included a lot of photos, a box of Sees candy, a talking picture frame where I was able to record Lulu singing and saying 'Nihao" to her mama and baba and baby Meili. I wish she would have hung onto her Chinese. She dropped it like a hot potato as soon as I got her and still gets nervous if she hears too much of it. I hope someday, that she'll want to learn it again. We also sent a ton of Lulu pictures for them to see how she's doing in her new life. They are the most amazing family. Lulu was so lucky to have them. We also sent a little dress to Lulu's beloved baby sister Mei Li. I hope to find her on a waiting child list sometime in the future - if not to adopt her myself, to at least let Lulu have contact with the little one she loves so much. So if any of you see a Yang Mai Li (or maybe Mao Li, or Mei Li or something similar - I'm going on Lulu's word here) born in Guilin, Guangxi, 12-20-04, SN-cleft lip and palate, probably both repaired, let me know! That would be incredibly cool.




Pics above are from last weekend's jaunt down to see cousin Brian. Had oodles of fun on the slip and slide!

Finally have decided on a vacation destination. With a three and a half year old in the house, where else would it be other than Disneyland. Oh there is one excited girl around here. The Disneyland sing along tape is going to wear out before we go, I'm sure. Every morning she wakes up and asks if we are going to Disneyland. It's going to be a long month before we go!

I'm having problems loading photos to blogger, so hopefully I can add them tomorrow. See ya later...
