Someone is 8!



Originally she said she wanted a Ukrainian Birthday cake with little Ukie flags...but being that it wasn't exactly the easiest request and I had been extremely busy for the last few weeks , I resorted to sending her to the cake store with her Aunt Rickie and she chose a heart pan, with white frosting and white cake, which we dyed pink for her.  She also decided she needed to add the American flag so we had an American bday instead! :)  she basically made the cake herself which is a huge deal because my little Miss is not the domestic kind.  She is all boy at heart....xtreme sports, animals, race cars, skate boarding.  Baking not so much! but over the last couple of weeks she has wanted to venture a little on the "girly side". 
I am still amazed she is already 8! I remember my little pudgy faced babbler like it was yesterday.

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.

Being brave the best way she knows how.

Olena has a big issue with getting her nails clipped. This has been a problem since bringing her home and though it has improved a bit in four years, it is still a 45 minute fight just to trim her fingers and toes. She has never been hurt - she just has a problem with it due to her sensory disorder - she is extremely over sensitive when it comes to her feet or hands. I am cutting her nails the other day.... O: do you have to cut the baby one too? M: Yes! O:NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the baby one OK? M: I have to, it's really long O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, its my dragon claw. M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr...
