It rules. I love that ELu has this venue to express herself. I'm thinking that once she has speech - she is going to have a whole lot to say. Look out Mama. xo You, my friend, are my mentor of the BabySign. It rules. I love that ELu has this venue to express herself.

We have wondered if Snowflake remembers anything about her life in China. She was only 8 1/2 months when we met her, so it's hard to imagine. These glimpses you are getting are amazing and so wonderful to record. Wow. We have wondered if Snowflake remembers anything about her life in China.

I just had an email conversation with another A-Mom about the things that she is learning about her children (she adopted a pair of brothers from Ethiopia) pre-adoption. It's easier for her, because the older brother holds the memories for the younger one, too (for instance, the older one could tell her why the younger one had a scar on his leg). But she says that, every so often, her younger son will do or say something really telling - a gesture, or an articulated image - and it's like she this peek behind the curtain - a flash - and then the curtain goes back down. I think this is fascinating and almost mystical in a way. Especially since the whole Before time can be such a mystery to us A-Parents. So good that you can record this stuff for Emme Lu to access later! Oooh, that gave me chills!

The bee is quite a kid and it doesn't surprise me that she has more memory that one would have assumed. From what you have shared and from looking at her in pictures,she seems like an old soul with more wisdom that she should at her age. At least that's what I see.... Very interesting stuff!
