This was a special occasion. Her omi sent this beautiful dress from Germany... and she finally had a chance (and her willingness) to put it on.
I mean... look at those hand painted buttons!!! Cute, right??
She has shown so much growth in last few weeks. We now say good-bye at school with no tears (establishing a special good-bye ritual and talking about it before we go into the school has helped us a lot) and she amazes me by expressing herself in full sentences (and often in correct grammars.)
These days she relocates herself from her bed to ours nightly... and I am happy to wake up next to her every morning as she gives me the happiest smile when she opens her eyes.
Pretty special time...
