Dreams Come True

This morning I was talking to my mom and we were both just like, wow, it really happened! Our little girl really is home! The waiting seemed to go on for forever, and sometimes I would wonder if it was all too good to be true, and if there even was a little girl waiting for us at the end of the wait. All I can say is IT REALLY DOES HAPPEN! To those of you still waiting, I know how hard it is, but there is a little one at the end of it all waiting for you! I still have to pinch myself every so often, just to make sure I'm not dreaming! Even in China, it was like, wow! I'm in China! But I could hardly believe it! We all love our little Sarah Lu so much, she has quickly captivated all of our hearts! We are SO lucky! Dreams really do come true!


Here are some random little facts:

• Her favorite word is "No!" She says it in the cutest little way! It just sends us all hysterically laughing, this girl has got so much personality! I can't believe she's only two!

• Her favorite foods include popsicles, rice, beef, pork, noodles, yogurt, and popcorn.

• She can already count all the way to three in English perfectly every time, lots of times she makes it all the way to five, but that is with a little help.

• She was very fluent in Mandarin and is learning English so quick, it's really astonishing! Every day she surprises us with another new learned word or phrase. She is very smart.

• She has got so much energy. No naps for her!

• She loves milk and prefers it above everything else.

• She hates bread and most forms of it, she wants nothing to do with any kind of sandwiches and will lick all the toppings off of a pizza.

• She loves her gou-gous (dogs). Her favorite thing to say to them is "no no gou-gou" or "bu hao gou-gou" (bad dog). But, despite that she loves to give them kisses, though she hates to receive kisses back from them, she will quickly wipe their slobbery kisses right off! I have caught her many times sharing her food with her puppies, I think she probably learned that from me!

• She loves her clothes and looking pretty. She likes anything anyone says is "piaoliang" (pretty).

• She prefers it when I call her mei-mei above everything else.

• She loves watching Veggie Tales.

• She adores music and loves to dance. It is the one thing she would do for hours. She will sing and clap along to everything. She loves being spinned around.

• She gets the biggest thrill out of the littlest things. It is so cute to see her get excited. She just wiggles and claps.

• She loves to laugh. And has got the cutest laugh I've ever heard!

• She loves being tickled.

• She puts her whole heart into everything she does.

• She is very determined.

• She is sweet, caring, and very compassionate, when someone gets an "owie" she is the first one to kiss them and offer comfort.

• I absolutely LOVE being her big sister!

• I can't imagine my life without her.
