Random Update

• Mollie says "Mama, Papa, Sarah, Abbia, BA (Bailey), Dah Ee Ya (I swear this means I love you in her mind, because she'll say "Papa Dah Ee Ya" or "Mama Dah Ee Ya").  
• She understands almost everything I say, and we are getting pretty good at communicating. She says something like "sasheeshee" when she needs to use the bathroom. 
• She cups her hand and puts it to her mouth if she wants water. Today she did that and said "water."
• She'll repeat "I love you" and the numbers one to five. We're working on "Please."
• Abby and Sarah have taught her some hand motions/games, and she mimics them. She also gives high fives and fist bumps.
• She was really sick yesterday - throwing up and very lethargic. She let me cuddle her most of the day and it was so sweet. 
• When I was making breakfast this morning, I asked her to get the salsa out of the refrigerator. She opened the fridge and looked for it, but couldn't find it. I pointed it out to her, and she brought it to me.
• She had a nasty, fall on the floor and beat your head FIT today when I asked her to potty before naptime. She knew I was about to make her take a nap, and she was MAD! After 25 minutes of screaming, she fell asleep on the bathroom floor. I picked her up and put her on the potty, and she did it! It was a Mama victory!
• She didn't cry at bedtime tonight. I don't know why, or what might have been different, but we read a book in bed and turned out the light, and she was asleep (we both were!) in 10 minutes. Another victory.
• She and Bailey have made friends. She lets him give her kisses. Remarkable! 
• She still does not like Ellie!
• She did great in church today. She like the music and loved the colorful screen. When they showed the video of her story, she watched and smiled as I talked, but hid her head when they showed scenes of her playing at the orphanage.
