Olena is on this kick about asking if things bite. She has this strong belief that everything around her either bites, or roars like a monster. And it is cute as can be to hear her ask it in her little tiny voice- and for some reason her sentence always comes out fast but very clear...

We go to the chiropractor earlier in the week. He has a model of the spine standing on the floor.
We walk into the room, she stands in the door with hesitation while I get on the table.
Dr asks her whats wrong?

pointing at the spine "Whats that?"

"A spine"

"Spime?"

"Yes, a spine"

"What Spime?"

"Do you know what bones are Olena?"

"Yes, bomes are in your body" while pointing to herself

"Ok, well a Spine are the bones in your back"

She finally decides to come through the door and get a closer look, she walks over to it and cocks her head while looking at it.

"Touch it?"

"Sure go ahead"

Then she turns around, looks at me with the most puzzled look I have ever seen...
"Mommy.......do spimes bite?"

"No, Olena spines don't bite, bones don't bite"

"No bite chu?"

"No Olena!"

"OH OK then!"

and she reaches over and starts to touch it and then starts to mumble to herself
"Oh my, what a nice spime. bite chu, oh NO! Spimes don't bite! spimes are so nice, bones too -
right mommy?"

"Right Olena"

Notice anything different?

A little accessory for her Aunt Rickie's wedding.  She kept telling us she wanted long hair like us for the wedding but we just never grew it out.  So voila! instant long hair! I do plan to make it look a lot nicer for the wedding.  Literally she walked in from playing in the sprinkler and I shoved it on her head.  Once her real hair is curled it will blend and look more uniform. I am proud at how well I matched the color, I was worried because I ordered it off line.  

Soon to be teenager!

We just celebrated our 11th Gotcha Day, this kid amazes me everyday.  She is doing fabulous in the 6th grade.  She currently has all As and 1 B.  She loves school and still loves to learn.  She struggles a bit with making friends, but she handles herself well, meshes great with the staff and the teachers and doesn't take any crap or bullying from anyone.  LOL!  She has had her fair share of issues, and has had to write out 50 Ways to be Respectful a handful of times and has been in the "warrior room" to work out conflicts more than once but she is loving, kinds, silly, strong and very self confident.
