Summer Fun

Yi Mei and I are having the time of our lives!  My little girl is blossoming before my eyes.  Summer has been a time for Yi Mei to further her attachment, develop confidence and enjoy life. 

We made so many memories this summer.  A highlight of our summer was visiting
Yi Mei's orphanage sister in New Orleans and discovering the ocean.  Yi Mei learned to swim, lost her first tooth, went on her first camping trip and formed new friendships in the neighborhood.  Though she still needs lots of hugs and kisses throughout the day, Yi Mei is now able to play outside with friends without mom being present.  I have delighted in seeing her confidence grow in so many areas.

Yi Mei is now able to express preferences for certain items.  Here are some of her  favorites:

animals:   horses (forsies) and elephants
friends:  Zoey, Allison and Ella
treat:  Oreo cookie ice cream and Kit Kat's
snack: Funions
color:  orange
activity:  swimming and making presents for people (frezents)
toys:  Barbies and Polly Pockets- she can spend hours organizing their clothes
