Just a big ball of cuteness

This past Sunday Cute right I think she looks English in this one

Matti has always had a problem with playing. But since she has been at work with me I have seen such a change in her. She is starting to act like a 3 year old sometimes when she plays. Now I have to complete ignor her for her to play. The second I or anyone's says anything even Good job Playing she stops and is up my butt again. I have to tell the people here to not talk to her when she is playing. But they do anyway and we have to start all over again. I do hate not being able to interact but I think as her play matures a bit she will be able to handle some interaction. She will also sit and watch barney or elmo for a bit. One of the pictures is toys on the floor. I think that is one beautiful mess cause she put all those toys there and played with them. So cool. I registered her for school yesterday and I am so scared for her. I am not looking forward to January 4th. When we were sitting in the school I was filling out paper work and one group of little kids came by and I got the her hair is White in a mean little girl tone like there was something wrong with her hair and then another little around 8 year old group came by and I got the rude why is her hair so white (and its not the question its the rudeness of the tone parents need to teach their kids some manners why is it we all think we can say anything to anybody all the time?) I said to the little brat I mean girl I guess the same reason why your hairs orange (i know I brought myself to her level ) At that moment I went uh ohh for Mattilyn when she gets into 1st grade or so. So I have been practicing some comebacks with her. Like I say Matti why is your hair so white and I tell her to say cause I'm cool that way or cause I'm lucky. We will practice on more comebacks later.

party #1

The Cake and no I did not make. I went to the store to buy cupcakes since she will have a Chuck E Cheeses cake on Saturday but saw this and it was perfect. The little bear with the candle in it all my kids have used on their first birthdays.

This girl can eat I only gave her a piece but I know she could have ate the whole thing. She gets extremely hyper with sugar and we did have work in the morning. I'll allow her to eat more on Saturday.

We only gave her one present today. It was her big one as I wanted just us to share that. I know selfish but oh well sue me don't care. Really Don't. She picked up real quick ripping paper. She is a natural.

She was so excited to see what it was. A remote control DINOSAUR. Yes she is very girly but when we go to Toys r us or Target she has to push this thing until I drag her away. She loved him.

Until Daddy decided it would be fun to walk him towards her.

I mean total freak out

AHHHHHH

Spike went to sleep then she would go touch him

by the end of the night they were friends again:)

These are from a few months back at toys r us. It was love at first sight

Happy 3rd Birthday Mattilyn and 10 months from gotcha

I feel so blessed to have these pictures as a lot of China parents don't have any. It does make me hurt for her sometimes though.

3rd Birthday Pictures Home with her Family

First 3 year old picture this morning

My baby girl turns 3 today we will have her party on Saturday at Chuck E Cheese. Looking at these photos makes me want to mourn for her lost past. Wants me to mourn my lost time with her. I want to hold that little baby, I want to make that baby smile on her 1st birthday I want to give that 2 year old hugs and wipe the cake off her face but That did not happen so today as everyday I hold my baby girl, I make her laugh by being silly with her I give her lots of Hugs and Praise God even though I did not have those first few years I have the rest. Last night we read our three books said our prayers and I rocked my two year old. She almost never goes to sleep but she did and I got to hold my baby. With the Christmas lights shining through her window from outside I got to just look at her. Her sweet face with her beautiful white hair. I did not want to put her in bed cause I knew the next time I held her she would be three. I thank God for that moment.
