We are having a great summer! I've been trying to keep Aminah busy with activities. She likes to paint with a paint brush and water on the sidewalk and wait for it to disappear. I also gave her a bowl of water and lots of things to pour with and she measures and plays for hours. I gave her shaving cream on a lid and she played for a while but I don't think she really liked the mess. One day she came home from preschool and she had a Fruit Loop necklace so after she ate all of her Fruit Loops she made a Cherrio necklace at home.
This is a site to help my family and friends keep up with the adoption story and daily life of Aminah.

The beauty of being a single mom is that I was able to celebrate both Mother's Day and Father's Day. Aminah had a performance at her school where she was able to sing songs. It was very sweet to see her at her debut. Terri, Nana Nancy, and even Mr. David came to see her sing. On Father's Day I received my first handmade tie. I proudly wore it to church.

Aminah had to leave carrots for the Easter bunny. For some reason my flash wasn't working that night. I also wanted to show off Aminah's new "big girl" haircut and Easter dress. I can't believe how grown up she looks.

We finally had to go to a professional! I had cut Aminah's bangs for a while and did fine, but then she decided to move around while I was in the middle of a cut. Then we had to go about 3 weeks (while it was growing out) with people asking me if she cut her own hair. I prepped her for the big day and made sure I brought her some treats to hold onto while we were cutting her hair. She loves Uncle Brownie (Terri's uncle) and was willing to let him cut her hair. Of course Mommy had to go first, so it was a fun day for both of us.

I live in a great neighborhood. Our first Easter event was when Brenda and Kaitlyn invited us to dye Easter eggs at their house. Terri joined us also. Aminah spent quite a bit of time painting the perfect egg. A few days later Brenda and Kaitlyn invited us over for an Easter egg hunt. Aminah had a great time and had lots of fun hunting for the eggs. The previous year she didn't enjoy having to "pick up" after that bunny, but this year we had LOTS of egg finding opportunities. Terri gave Aminah the DVD Veggie Tales An Easter Carol which replaced her favorite movie (Frosty the Snowman), which I was able to recite word for word by this time. Nana Nancy came over with a few items for Aminah also including a new Easter purse. The night before Easter John and Darlene came across the street with an Easter basket for Aminah. She had definately won the hearts of our neighbors.
