Above and below: Cheryl made this amazing hat (it even has a bird's nest on top) to wear to Naomi's birthday party. I'm pretty sure it would have one first prize! It was sad they couldn't come to her party but we all had dinner together wearing hats.
Above: Ben and Elizabeth joined us at Chucky Cheese to celebrate Nae's birthday before we left.
We are now at 85% of our support! We are so excited and can't wait to get to the field.
Naomi's been counting to ten regularly and lately has been attempting the teens.
The other night Nae woke up and sat at the door screaming...when I found her she yelled, "Shoeies (shoes), shoeies! I want shoeies!" Everyone knows her addiction with shoes...she wears them all day...apparently she dreams about them too :)
Below: Nae got a lovely keyboard for her birthday from Grandpa Wally and Grandma Cheryl.
Sweet story: Ruthie and I were baking together and she turned to me and said, "I'm glad you're my Mommy, Mommy." :)
On another note: Ruthie yelled to me from the other room to get her a pen. I replied saying no and she needed to come get it herself. She responded with conviction, "Mommy, are you being selfish and not serving?"
Nae's new phrase: Myself. She was opening up a bag of crackers and Brad tried to help, to which she responded, "Me, myself!" She attempted then said, "Too hard, help!" At least she knows her limits.
