Halle has been cracking us up lately. I know in all our preadoption reading about how kids will sneak food into their pockets or keep it in their hands to save for later. However, we are regularly finding the funniest and oddest things in Halle's pockets and hands! We were getting ready to cross the street the other day and I said "please give me your hand" and she did and in it was a little car from our Life game we'd played earlier! At snack she came and sat down at the table and as I was bringing out the snack she had one of those mini brushes for cleaning out shavers in her hands- the weird thing is that it wasn't even part of Dave's set! So families we visited over break, please check your shaver set and make sure you have all your parts! We've never had a 3 yr old quite like her with her addiction to touching everything. There is ALWAYS something in her hands, whether it be a pen, a purse, and yes, even scissors. At a friends' house last night we kept saying "please don't touch that" probably at least 15 times in the 15 minutes were there- everything from the remote controls to the phone, etc. It's a good thing they put up their lighters and bb gun before she spotted them! :)
I was talking with a friend the other day about how the waiting was the hardest part and it was. The first month or so wasn't exactly a picnic but now I can honestly look at her (still amazed she's in our house definitely) and be so thankful for her being my littlest girl. She definitely keeps us on our toes and makes our house um, VERY interesting but I definitely wouldn't trade her and she was DEFINITELY worth the wait.
In other news I'm listening to a book on tape, Adopted for Life by Dr. Russell Moore. Fantastic book! If you are a believer, READ IT! If you are interested in any way supporting adoption, READ IT! well i think i've used enough caps for this particular post so that's all for now :)
