heyo papa!

today Hailey made her first formal telephone call to her papa. She asked me in the evening : mama...heyi mo call papa yok! Wow...talk about daddys girl missing the daddy.

its an international call to China, it lasted more than the short video actually shows. it was all her.

first day in school..booboo cried!

monday blues...

Hailey have been in school for about 2 weeks now. She is not crying anymore, in fact, only did the first 3 days.

This morning as I was dropping her off, she came and asked me for a hug. Well, I normally do before I leave but I was talking to a fellow mommy. She came over to interrupt my chat, as I stood low she held me tight and long. Hmmm...then she walked away suavely. Then I continued with my chat. After while, I could sense from a distance a pair of eyes was watching me. I was right. She looked at me fiercely and told me to 'Go!' As I was leaving, I heard a burst of crying. It was my baby! I didn't see that coming! Well, they all said its normal, kids have monday blues too.

counting the blessings...

The days are coming to pass faster each day as I watch my baby grow into this little lady. I am counting my blessings each day and recalling what it took for us to have her finally in our lives about 2 years ago. The waiting, the hoping, the disappointments, finally the joy came...in a big bundle! So I am telling myself to savour everyday in remembrance of those trying times. And my heart and wish still goes out to those who wants and can't. Keep hoping, keep trying.
