Last night it was Lily’s turn to be on stage, reciting poetry in French. Her poem was a sweet conversation between a snail and a butterfly. She even accessorized for the evening with a necklace, earrings, and hair thingy. This is very unusual for Lily, she’s not into fluff and frill. Dawit told her she [...]

Opening Matinee

Dawit did a great job as little Mowgli! The musical has been a huge success. Almost 5,000 people come to see it in the course of a week–amazing for a middle school production. The big kids were so great with Dawit, making him comfortable onstage. He had to play with his wolf-cub “brothers and sisters”–tug-o-war, [...]

We got 12 inches of snow yesterday! The kids are thrilled, but I’m hoping it’s the last of the messy stuff for the year. We spent the afternoon at a b-day party with all of their favorite things: pizza, farm animals, cake, and sledding. I dared to hope that they would be tired, but they [...]

Countdown to Jungle Book
Posted in Adoption on March 7, 2007 | 1 Comment »
We have 2 more rehearsals until Dawit performs onstage in the middle-school production of The Jungle Book.
Here’s the young Mowgli riding out onto stage on one of his wolf-cub brothers. It’s followed by about 2 minutes of wrestling, tickling, tug-of-war, and playtime with the wolf family. Too cute!
Guess who’s coming tonight?

Dawit lost a tooth today. Not in the usual way, this one had to be removed. He was a trooper, and all’s well now.
His sister, who has 5 teeth worth of experience (and 4 more loose), was able to offer Dawit some advice and direction in terms of the Tooth Fairy. He had [...]
