The word we would use for Isabel is resilliant. She is doing well and Maddy and Isabel are very much acting like siblings. Good training for what will change for both of them. We had lasagna tonight and then story time and puzzles. What follows are one letter from your daughter to you and Nora and one letter from Maddy to her baby brother and to you (you are in China, so you are sort of in the neighborhood (at least in the eyes of a four year old).<br /><br />Isabel to Mommy:<br />I love my mommy. I love my baby sister. I do puzzles with Maddy. I like my house. I like my own room. I like my jammies. I hope my mommy is having a good time.<br /><br />Maddy to Gabriel and Margaret:<br />I love my baby brother and miss him. I want to be his friend. I love my house. When I go to china I want to get pink umbrella. I love my mommy, daddy, brother and Isabel. I love my new cousin and my family. I love Aunt Margaret.<br /><br />Bedtime had a few challenges, but worked out as we tallked a little bit about how sometimes families are a little different. The settled in and the last I saw they were holding hands. It is getting a little chatty, so I am going to have to remind them to go to bed and not to talk. <br /><br />I hope this little slice of your daughter's day warms your heart.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441538173229523263noreply@blogger.com
