I imagine at least a hundred. I'll let you know!
I meant to blog yesterday-- "One week until the TPR hearing"-- but I was too busy being frantic on Facebook and the phone with my sister and spouse and the Guardian ad litem's poor Legal Assistant...LOL.
Luckily, I received 30 free CDs that I had coming from BMG so now I have music to rip and burn to my MP3 player while Princess Tomorrow is napping today (A.K.A. Music Therapy).
Princess Tomorrow has so many words in her vocabulary now. I attempted to list them all in her baby book and stopped at fifty because for her age she ought to have three or four words, LOL! Her pediatrician at Children's Hospital is always impressed with her developmentally and physically, and she was really surprised at how much she is babbling. The funniest word so far: she was calling the cat "titty"-- but today she is saying "chitty"! Even funnier!
These days, Princess Tomorrow is more angelic and cute as ever-- why?! It must be that I am paying so much attention to her, and writing every precious moment on my heart. She seems to know when I need a hug. Hammy says we are psychic like E.T. and Elliot were. When I'm feeling all misty, and get lost in wondering "If", she always seems to come up right then and hug me around the neck and says, "I, i, i"-- that is how she sings the beginning of the Barney show theme song.
"I love you, you love me, we're a happy family...with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me, too?"
Did I ever blog about how when she's watching Barney (much to my chagrin) and the Barney theme song starts up, she has to run to me in the kitchen, or her brothers if they are in the playroom with her, and give us a great big hug and kiss? It is the.cutest.thing.ever.in.our.home and *almost* makes the sound of Barney bearable.
Okay, back to witnessing the moment to moment joy of her and the boys, focusing on each breath, and NOT getting sucked into reading other foster parent's stories online!
Our story is unique.
