Purple Folder Adventure

I’ve never done it before.  Handed her over to a stranger.  Walked away.  For two hours.  I didn’t quite know what to do with myself.  Felt very strange.  It’s been, wow, a year and 1/2!  I just figured it out to write that sentence!  She’s been home a year and a half.  Still not as long as she was in Russia.

Back to Puddle Jumpers.  I handed her over she went willingly without looking back and she was fine.  She was excited, happy and ready.  She had her 3 other friends with her and felt safe and confident and ready.

Not sure I was so ready, I stayed in the car in the parking lot.

Until class was over and she returned to me!

My little Bella Bean has so many cute things she says in her language.  I wish time would stop and she would talk like this forever and a day ~ that’s how long I could listen to such sweetness.
