starting to notice

Today at dinner ashley was telling us about her dance class. oneof her teachers is chinese . Jessica is 18. She said mommy Miss Jessica is chinese like me but she is different. I said how, her hair is long which is true and her is black, and she is taller. I said because she is older than you. ashley said ok, mommy i just want to be older like Miss Jessica. She is starting to notice where she is from . She always knew she is adopted, and we have always told since day one about adoption.. Now i know she is really starting to grow up! Jason and I were like wow! omg! She is really changing into a little girl! Also congrats to to our little dance for making
the Dance team, ashley will be competing next year around nj. Mommy better start
doing more nail clients! LOL!

Another day of bad weather and we are stick in the house.
Ashley loves to draw and color so she wanted to make
her own birthday invites, he birthday is not for another
4 months but i thought i would be fun her do. She keeps telling
