She's All Fish!

Missy is a swimmer!

She dives under the water and swims around kicking her legs and using her arms like she's been swimming all her life. I can't believe how fast she learned. She loves to jump off the edge and meet me at the bottom of the pool to see how long we can sit there blowing bubbles at each other. Her giggle is like no other and I can hear it even under water.

She is a really brave kid.

At the moment she is by herself in a tent on the lawn waiting for Christina to get home. She isn't the least bit afraid.  (Brother on the other hand, could not know she wasn't planning on sleeping in his room tonight or he would have laid awake all night in total fright. He was sent to bed early for necessary reasons and was a bit stressed that she wasn't there, too, but eventually he went to sleep never knowing the girls had set up a tent outside and planned to sleep in it. He wouldn't think of sleeping out there!)

Little Missy and I are working on a rag doll. One of those "so ugly, it's cute" sort of creations. She likes it anyway.

Yahh for being a swimmer! Our little one (4 years old) recently decided to jump in the pool. I guess all those swimming lessons finally are paying off. :)

Thank you for your blog. I find great comfort in knowing there is another Mom out there with children that have similar issues as our son does. When will your adoption be finalized? Ours is late November, early December.

Congratulations again on Missy being a swimmer!
