Talking!

My girl is starting to talk, really talk to me! I am sitting here on the couch just marveling at her. This morning she was "reading" a book...and saying real words that were in it and on the correct page. Then she brought me a book that she made about herself and school and showed me her name and told me it was her name. She had a picture of cat food in it and told me "Percy eat it." There was a drawn picture of her and I asked who is was and she said "Me." She understood what I was asking and had an appropriate response! She then showed me her brown eyes.

It is really impossible to write out how amazing this change is. All of a sudden she is volunteering information, asking me questions, asking us to come with her - communicating!

We are finalizing her adoption in a week - just before Christmas. I am so glad everything will be final. And then sharing the whole Christmas season with her is so exciting. Everything is "Ooooooh" and she is so fun to watch.
