Yesterday was the last day of school for the boys. They are ready for summer break- and so am I! They had "end of the year" parties at school and they wanted their sister to come so they could show her off to their friends. Their classmates were very excited to meet Ladi- I realized then that the boys have really been talking to their friends and teachers about her. Blake has even had his buddies calling him just to see how she was doing! You could tell how proud they were to have her at their school. When we were eating ice cream in Brady's class a little girl told Brady that his sister was so cute- Brady responded by saying, "She is not cute, she is BEAUTIFUL!".
Yesterday afternoon Ladi meet her cousins Sadie and Macie. (My brother's girls) Sadie is only a week older than Ladi- we know that they will be the "best of buddies"! Sadie has been so excited to meet her new cousin and they had a wonderful afternoon together! Ladi is learning to share her toys and things with other children. Because while she was in the orphanage nothing belonged to her- she had to share everything, even clothes. So this is the first time in her life that anything has belonged to just her and she is learning that others can play with her stuff and she will get it back. Everything is new and she is adjusting so well. Much better than I had prayed for! Last night we went to Airlie Gardens for a picnic and to listen to jazz. The boys and I love going to these events and we just knew Ladi would love it as well! Oh did she! She started out sitting on the blanket playing with her doll and eating snacks- but by the end of the evening she and Brady were up front dancing to the music! She loves to dance just like her momma! It was the cutest thing -watching Brady twirl her around! As I stood there watching it was as if I had seen it all before- maybe in my dreams and prayers for her!
The boys left this morning with my parents, my brother and his family and my aunt and uncle; they are going to Disney world for the week! They have had this planned for a year now- since we returned for Disney last year! They are all so excited and I know they will have a blast. I ask that you pray for their safety and my parents patience and endurance! And for my Uncle Ken- Brady's partner in crime! (and rides!)
