My favorite update from Gladney ever. Ever.
My favorite moment from my visit with her today: she played energetically with her friends until it was time to sit and wait for lunch. When the wait dragged on and on, many of the others got antsy and began getting up and running around, but B sat on the mat and talked with one little guy who was new to her house (in fact, he had just moved up from another house’s toddler room that day). She talked to him, got no response from the shy two year old, and then gave him a smile and an affectionate pinch on his cheek, letting him know it was all going to be okay.

Good heavens! Lori, you and I have never met, but even I can see how obviously that girl is your daughter! This is like watching some kind of real life folk tale or fantastical otherwordly thing. How can it be so? Abe was born half a world away, and he is your boy. And now Bee too? It's just so obvious. I'm a little breathless.
Perfect. It's perfect.
So sweet! She sounds like the perfect jewel! I hope my little boy, who's there, is friends with Bee. She sounds like the perfect friend to have!
What a blessing.
Oh, that just went straight to my heart.
no fair, you can't have two patient, polite kids?? what are the odds?
Yep... that's your little girl!! What a kind, gentle spirt she has, just like her mama!!
Sounds like a sweet little one :)
I'm choked up reading this, what an amazing girl.
That reminds me of a girl who we met while in Ethiopia - she was about 6 or so and watching her mother the little boys was incredible. She sounds like a diamond.
