Well, March is just about over and spring is hopefully right around the corner. Thankfully it's been sunny the past couple of days but it's still really cold! March has been a pretty "normal" month - if there is such a thing - with the exception of our 2nd Gotcha Day celebration with Megan. Two years ago on the 18th we met Miss Megan and her foster family in Guiyang, China
(see post here) and we received the second greatest blessing in our lives. That day seems so long ago and yet just like yesterday. This past year was a little more challenging in that Megan is grieving in such a different manner now. We have learned a lot about trauma and parenting children from hard places. It's not always easy, in fact at times it is very hard! But, I can't imagine anything else! This past year has also been filled with great blessings! We love to see Megan learn and grow. Megan, we love you to the moon and back! Happy Forever Family Day!!
For Megan's Gotcha Day celebration, she decided she wanted to play at the famous fun place with the crazy mouse and greasy pizza. You know that place. Well, it was fun. During the day there really aren't many people there so she was able to play lots of games. As we were eating lunch, she noticed something fall onto the seat. She picked it up, set it on the table and said, "look it's my tooth!" Her first tooth fell out! She was so excited! She has had two loose teeth on the bottom since February. Daddy has tried several times to get them out but she just wouldn't let him, she was too afraid. So today, at the famous CEC, she lost her first tooth! Way to go Megs!!
Natalee only had a 1/2 day of school so she joined us at CEC for some fun, pizza and games. But then, she went to Gramma & Grampa's for the night and Megs had a slumber party with Daddy and I. After she opened her gift (of which she had been bugging me all week to tell her what it was) we had a great night of snuggling, watching tv, snacking and coloring princess pictures.
Just as it was time for bed, she second tooth was so terribly loose one good deep breath and she would swallow it. So, as Daddy was helping brush her teeth, he kind of "helped" it out. Megan was so excited!!! She lost her first two teeth on the same day and it was gotcha day - what happiness!! :) Of course she was very eager to get to sleep that night so the tooth fairy would visit her, twice! :) What a great day making memories with our precious girl!
