Most used phrase this week
'Okay Mama, Okay'
Cute but naughty...
Finding a lipstick, or lip gloss, or lip balm and then saying 'Bye Bye Mama' and running off to hide in a really small crevice to EAT the lip balm... She loooooves it! The thought that she has to run away and tell me she is going to do something a bit naughty makes me smile!
Monday: B had croup, and was 'infectious' so after dancing her little heart out at Church on Sunday we had to spend a few days without friends. She got given clogs and clothes from Mopsie and Grandpa who had been in Holland. She is learning to sing all eight verses of 'A Mouse Lived in a Windmill' with Ellie!
Tuesday: We went shopping and to Starbucks with Ellie. Finally took Beth into French Connection store to show her the clothes she has always been wowed by - and thinks they belong to Arnie! (Monsoon is where she thinks sells my clothes!!) She spent the afternoon with Sandy and then sobbed for a long time because she wasn't able to play with her kitty cat - as she had frightened him so much by cuddling him that he ran away.... She was heart broken :(
Wednesday: Ellie came over, we baked cakes and then waved Ellie off for India. Beth must think our family spend their life on the airplane as one of us is always coming or going! Then we went to see our cousin and her children - including four week old Isobel, such a sweet babe! Her 2nd cousin Lucy looked after Beth so much that they ended up playing together upstairs like big girls, despite the 2 year age gap!
Thursday: For the first time I can say that Bethany enjoyed Preschool this morning. She was happy to go in. I reassured her that I would be near if she was too upset. And that she could pray if she needed help or friends. As I collected her I heard her laughing and chattering to herself which is the first time she hasn't started whinging or asking for 'ulk' when she sees me!
Friday: Such a lazy day. And then a special trip with Daddy to the Zoo. What a fun week we have had together.
I am so blessed by my little girl. I am so thankful that God gave me such a beautiful, free-spirited gift of life. Bethany, we love you more than words can say and pray that me and your daddy raise you as a girl who loves, who cares, shares and enjoys every second of life. You never cease to amaze us. Love M and D xxxxx
ps this week, Bethany has been sleeping through the night and until almost 9am a few days :)

From mottsie and grandpa's hotel you could see Kanchendzonga which is snow capped,that's a very long name for a mountain it's the 3 largest in the whole world, wow. In the early morning 5-00 that's like when you wake up it was the colour orange becausethe snow makes it translucent, ask mama what that word means but it looked beautiful.
