Happy Halloween

 Aunt Doreen came over to hand treats out @ our house because Jason and I both wanted to go out with miss d for her first halloween. Aunt D also brought her a pumpkin full of treats. This was her first taste of what all these silly costumes were all about.

 Miss Diva and her friend L the witch went trick or treating together. they love each other so much.

 Off she goes down the sidewalk to the next house for treats. She was so funny because when her pumpkin was full , we tried to empty it into her bag. She was having nothing to do with it. She kept saying"mine!!!!"

 The cutest ladybug I've ever seen. She is loving all the smarties she was getting. LOL

 L's mom dressed up as a witch as well and jason is standing off to the side and he dressed up as a fly fisherman.

 Her they are coming from another house. Madisyn thinks was the greatest thing ever.

look at the loot she got in just one hour. There was house that the girls went to that gave them more treats because they used their manners. Good job girls.

Random Cuteness

 We built a fort out of blankets and she thought it was wonderful to have her own little hiding spot. I love that smile.

 Her nad one of her daycare friends that she really likes was playing with these horses and running after one another around the house. I was able to quickly snatch one picture.

 She decided that this was her"boat" She took all the craft things out , sat in, used the shovel for a paddle and started singing row, row row your boat. This kid is silly.

                                                        just a very cute picture

we decided we would try her snowsuit on her , just to see if it was too big. can she see how much she enjoyed this. I think she is not going to enjoy winter.

Kidsability Appointment

Today was Miss Diva's first appointment with kidsability. They were very impressed with her and that her language was already developed so well. They are only concerned with certian sounds, like the S sound and the P sounds. I was given a very good "job well done" and told me I was doing an excellent job with her speech. Having another person telling me that, makes me feel like I am doing my job because I am doing the same sort of stuff with the daycare kids. I have had an awful few weeks with the daycare parents, and this just confirms that I am doing my job right.

Now, We just need to keep doing the same thing and expanding the words.

Also, yesterday was a little nerve wrecking. Miss Diva starting bleeding in her mouth and her nose and I started to freak a little. I called the cleft team in Hamilton and they suggested that I called the dentist on the team. I did that , and he wanted to see her @ 4 pm. Jason took her down to Hamilton to see what was happening. When he got there, they looked and couldn't see anything. So, then they did a x-ray. They found another tooth coming in right beside the cleft gum and that was it. There is a little infection , so they gave her meds for that and he said that if it dosen't stop bleeding in 6 weeks , to bring her back! Phew, I was a little worried that she had damaged her palate somehow.

With saying all that, I am thrilled to have her home and that I am the one that is there to help her with all this. We love u Miss Diva.xoxoxxo

5 months today

Five months ago, this is us waiting in Beijing airport to board that plane and come home. She was such a great traveler. We are truly blessed!

This was the plane that all 5 families boarded together and flew home to Canada, We will never forget Miss Diva's homeland and are itching to return. We will always tell her what a wonderful experience it was and someday do a homeland tour with her.

Miss Diva's Outfit for Thanksgiving Dinner

Cooler weather

Last weekend, I had a dentist appointment in the morning, Miss Diva still has issues with me(mama) walking away and she can't see me. So Jason decided that he would walk to downtown Kitchener Farmer's market with her while I went to the dentist. So, it was cold and a little windy the friday before, we decided to try mittens on her because it was suppose to be the same kind of weather the next day. Here is Miss Diva showing of  her pretty pink mittens and liking that they kept her hands nice and warm. We tried the hat but she was having no part of that!

 This is saturday morning. It was cold and Jason said she wanted to wear her hat and her mittens and he covered her with a blanket. He said before he walked passed Guelph street, this is what miss diva was doing...sleeping. I guess she was toasty warm and had a snooze. What a sweetheart!
