One of These Things Is Not Like The Others

1.9.12

but, she most certainly belongs.

which is pretty much the coolest part really.
Hasn’t phased her one bit that she’s the only blondie in the crowd. 
Not one bit that the entire show was narrated in Chinese. Maybe she understood a little. 
But, I certainly didn’t. 
I even got yelled at by an 8-year-old backstage who snipped at me, “Do you have to speak English?” Ummm…yes…sorry, I do.
The rest of my family didn’t understand one word either. You know, that would be the 7 white people in the audience who happened to also have a Chinese toddler with them who calls me mama.
So very proud of my fan dancer. 
For dancing, for being brave, for wanting to learn Chinese and dance it too, for being so excited about her little sister and who our family now is.
I love that girl.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
