"My Mommy". It still melts my heart everytime I hear those words from her. I love that Kelina keeps giving us little nuggets of what is going on inside her head. Her words show that cemented bond that has taken hold between a mother and a child. I am so grateful that she has accepted us. That she wants me all to herself. Just like a little one should. This nugget she shared shows us where her heart is. Any 4 year old wants their Mommy, but how much harder when you've wanted one for so long and now that you have a Mommy, you find out you have to share her with siblings, and Daddy, and friends...
She sweetly curled up in my lap tonight. After resting her head on my arm for a few, she looked up at me and said, "I love My Mommy and Daddy, Kyle, Kellan, and Kaylie." At which I replied, "I love Kelina." She then said, "I don't want to go with Na Na and Yie Yie (her foster grandparents in China). I want to stay here with you."
"You will always be with us, forever and ever."
She must have felt pretty confident in this being true, because the next thing she said was..."Your nose is like a banana!" (then she said Uncle Chris' nose was "like a chicken's"--i.e. a beak). Only she could get away with making fun of my nose. Too Funny!
