Thought this might be fun, and maybe even helpful to some of you!!
1. I call Olena - Lana. Her name is pronounced OLANA so Lana seems so much easier :) I just don't like to write Lena because then it looks like LEna. Which I am not really too fond of!
2. Yes, my daughter does say the occasional swear word! Mommy and daddy sometimes have a potty mouth and our little angel has picked up a few naughty words. Hopefully she thinks an ASS is a donkey!
3. I have wanted to duck tape my daughter to the wall a few times, especially these past few weeks!
4. A bit too often, if Olena gets up before 730am, I have her sit on my bed and watch cartoons because I want to lay there under the covers for just a little bit longer.
5. Since becoming a mother, I don't think I have ever left this house without forgetting at least one thing!
6. I have been late to work at least 3 times a week since becoming a mother! Thankfully I have the best bosses in the world!
7. I sometimes doubt my ability to be good mother.
8. I think my baby is the cutest baby in the world :)
9. I have dreams of Olena being famous - she just fits the part so well!
10. I always forget she is adopted.
11. I never like washing her hair. She makes such a big fuss and I always end up getting wet and listening to her scream at me. It usually ends with me just dumping water over her head and both of us getting mad at each other.
12. I have picked up something off my floor and have fed it to her! OMG!!!
13. She has some nervous habits that drive me CRAZY!
14. I love this little girl, more than anything in this world.
15. I will always to thankful to Ukraine.
16. I always include Olga and Sergei (Lana's birth parents) and the groupa in my nightly prayers.
17. I wish I could locate Olena's brother - I have tried and have been unsuccessful.
18. One of the biggest accomplishments I have achieved this year is overcoming my fears and having the birth family search done.
19. Olena likes to eat dog biscuits and cat treats
20. Last but not least...I will miss this blog!!
