Emerson turned 18 months last week. I can't get over how fast time flies. Well, fast when it comes to Em and her growth, but yet snail-pace slow when it comes to our wait to bring her home. Such is the adoption journey, I suppose.
Anyway, we were thrilled to receive an update on her yesterday. Some of the highlights were:
- turns two or three pages at a time (Can we say speed reader?!)
- walks upstairs holding rail and both feet on step. (LOL - that's how I've been going up and down the stairs after pulling my muscle).
- scribbles spontaneously (Future Pulitzer prize award winning author? Another Picasso?)
- imitates doing housework and other realistic activities (we're going to have another actress in the house!)
The report ended with her mentioning that she's cheerful but stubborn. LOVE IT. In fact, sounds a little (okay, a lot) like this momma.
We praise God for how well she is doing! We reeeeeaaaaally needed to hear something from Korea after the silence regarding the EP situation this month. As much as the update lifted our spirits, it made me realize I can miss her even more. I want to turn those book pages with her, draw with her, run up and down the stairs with her, play make-believe with her...
I. Just. Want. To. Be. With. Her.
