Introducing Miz N

Miz N
  • Likes the color pink
    • We were both wearing it today
  • Adores cats
    • I won't hold that against her
  • Loves butterflies
    • They are her 1st favorite bug...June bugs are her second.
  • Hates scorpions
    • Had to warn her we get them here sometimes.
  • Changes the subject faster than lightening
    • In a two minute span she brought up ghosts, scorpions, spiders, lasagna, and swimming.
  • Leaves a trail behind her every where she goes.
    • Cups, clothes, incomplete thoughts, books, towels, hair stuff, etc.
  • Smarter than a whip
    • Did you know that baby flies are maggots?  I got a lesson in them over dinner.
  • Cuter than a bug
    • Glasses slipping down her nose, two front baby teeth just begging fall out
  • Enjoys science
    • Starting 2nd grade in August
  • Now likes mushrooms and spinach
    • Said she didn't like them, but wanted to try mine, along with the spinach on my pizza, and she liked them both.  :-)
  • Bonded
    • Has visits with her mom two times a week and talks about her a lot
  • Connected
    • Has two siblings and right now they have stayed in the home where she used to be...but she knows the plan is to let her get settled and then transition them to live with us.
  • Makes mental to-do lists
    • And what she has planned for us to accomplish tomorrow is truly impossible in the time frame of waking hours - crafts, bike rides, barbies, swimming, movie, coloring, and playing CandyLand
  • Flying to Michigan
    • The ticket cost totally broke the bank, but I have to believe God will provide - there is just no way I can leave her behind in two weeks when I leave.  I just can't bear it.
  • Dumped the beer down the drain
    • I never have it.  Never.  Don't really like it.  Bought it for a gathering with friends.  Had seven left over bottles.  She opened the fridge.  Made a face.  Told me she didn't like it because she didn't like what it did to people.  So we took them out.  I popped the lids.  She dumped it down the drain.
  • Requested Chicken Fettuccine for dinner
    • Like I would say no to that???
Is my new foster daughter
And I am pretty much head over heels in love.
