An Earthly treasure....

Yesterday, Kru (Fikru), had his first official appointment at the dentist. Much to my surprise and delight....he still has some baby teeth! So...we will be able to throw them over the roof (Ethiopian) together!!!! As the appointment was ending, Michelle told Kru to choose a toothbrush and and a prize. The prize bin was HUGE and he was a bit overwhelmed and kept asking over and over again if he was really suppose to choose something from this bin. Much to my disappointment (at the time), he chose a ring. I wanted to tell him to choose a parachute man....or a car...or a cool pencil.....but the ring stole his attention. As we left and were approaching our vehicle, he reached for my hand, put the ring on my finger (he thinks it's pure gold) and told me he loved me.

Be still my heart.....

beautiful child. i like the name Kru. our "five" yr old had lost all his teeth, yes you are lucky to have a tiny bit of baby hood left, it all goes too fast as you know. Older sibs are such a blessing, good thinking that you got them first, sk
