Sunday Snapshot~Kate

Sunday, January 24, 2010

Ni Hao Y'all

Stef (who is an amazing Mom of many children AND she just returned from China with lovely Vivi) started snapshot Sunday to share a little bit about a child (or an event).

So, this week I am giving a little snapshot of my Katie Ru.

My Katie Ru is all girl.

She loves to imitate me.

She is a little shutterbug.

She loves to put on her "make-up!"

She LOVES to cook (especially with her Daddy) and she is quite good.
I would not be surprised if she has a show on the Food Network one day!

She also loves to "read" and it is the one thing she will do independently
for a little while.

She is a lolly-gagger and a SLOW poke. In fact, it has become our little joke that I ask her to be a "fast-pokey" when we are in a hurry (which is always).

She is a daydreamer.

And she is full of joy!

    She looks so grown up, but yet it was so fun to listen to that silly goose talk on her foot!!

  16. I love that you are doing Sunday Snapshot!! I love the pictures of Kate - it warms my heart to see her imitate you - they say that imitation is the highest form of flattery - does that count when it is our kids?

    :)

  22. Loved hearing about all of the forever families and how your precious heart, KIM! can't take aNymore. You are such an amazing person. i HAD POPPED OVER HERE THIS morning and saw this post and had a million things to tell you but bailey came in and off the computer she made me go! URG. As so often happens these day. First I adore that blue and god dress haha but the make up and the pinkalicous book. That is the one bailey will read by her self too and makeup! everyday now..thank goodness we can't see it. But its just funny how our little girls are doing the exact same things so far away from each otehr. I have probably said it before, but i never get over it. Sorry for all the typos, I have to go again but I would hang out here longer if I could. Love your posts!!

  30. Kim,

    I cannot THANK YOU enough!!!!!

    You are so kind to take time out of your day to help me out with your words of advice...JUST what I needed to hear on so many levels~ validation of my feelings and strategies to, as you said, nip this in the bud. I am so grateful!!!! As I'm sure you could tell from my post, this has been heavy on my heart. *sigh*

    I KNOW you've saved us a therapy stop;-). Your suggestions made so much sense....kind of what we were thinking we needed to do all along, but I was afraid our actions may have been too drastic. Your words/strategies put my mind and heart at ease, and it's WONDERFUL to know this came from an attachment therapist.

    The one area I especially appreciate you touching upon is the affection with close family friends, and after hearing your words, I'm confident in the steps we should take.

    I would love to hear any other info you would care to share. I tried to find an email to send this privately, but was unable....please feel free to email me.

    Thanks again for your support, and above all your prayers. I feel hopeful and confident we can combat this with consistency, love and time.

    Tami
