"But, I don't want them to adopt me!!!"
Thankfully those who are adopted spoke up quickly and said, "No, silly! They are going to adopt ORPHANS. You have a momma."
Whew. But, just to be sure everyone knew that they weren't coming HERE to adopt, we discussed how I am theirs and they are mine. I've told them and told them, but I will tell them a thousand times over if I need to.
With that, I should share another little something E said, as she says the cutest things:
"Mom, the little guy is down the drain."
"Did you wash your hands and the slug washed down the drain?"
"Yes, that is what happened. Mom, I don't want you to be dead, and I don't want my little guy to be dead either. I wish he didn't go down the drain. I just love you so much. And, I loved my little guy too."
And at the eye doctor last week, she says to the doctor, "What's that big gold sticker on that picture up there?"
Doc says, "It's my degree. I had to do a lot of school to get that so that I can be a doctor."
"So, you did a lot of school, and then your teacher just GAVE (lots of emphasis) that big gold sticker to you????"
"Um, ya, something like that," the doctor chuckled.
"HEY, MOM!..." and E comes to tell me about how she wants to get a gold sticker like that so we need to go home and do some school.
So, in the last few weeks we've been on vacation and been to the eye doctor. 1 more in glasses currently, and very likely to have more in the next year or two. But, healthy eyes for the most part. We have a few who weren't stimulated well as babies and lack some focusing ability due to it. It's something I already knew, but it is nice to have it confirmed. We're not going to do anything about it (like glasses) except for try some therapy once I research and know more about what is available. As for our vacation, I have a whole blog saved to share with you. I'm just waiting for our computer to upload the pictures. It's a bit slow uploading.
