"I made a lellow!"

That is definately not a typo in the title of this entry. It is just Myanese talk. We are working on potty training her and she gets so excited when she goes. She yells to everyone in the house, "I made a lellow!" In translation that means, "I made it yellow." She learned from Hannah that when you go to the bathroom your pee is yellow and that is a very cool thing for a toddler. Mya successfully goes to the bathroom right before her bath in the evening, but we haven't mastered going in the toilet during the day. We are still working on that, but it will come in due time.

I wanted to dedicate this entry to Mya because we have seen so much growth in her lately. She is changing constantly and we are so proud of her. She hasn't been the easiest two year old. We have definately had our ups and downs with her, but I am seeing signs of maturity this week. She is responding to discipline much better and obeys us more often. She has not been quite as clingy and we have seen less tantrums. Today she sang the whole alphabet song by herself for her Daddy. He was so impressed with her knowledge. He always tells her, "Mya...you are so wise." Today at the dinner table she told him that she is wise. Those two crack me up sometimes. There are stories of Dan eating chapstick when he was a toddler. Guess what I caught Mya doing today? Oh yes....she was hiding in a corner eating her chapstick. Blah!!! She is very much like her Daddy in many ways.

Good for Mya! Making yellow is no easy feat! She and Dan are two peas in a pod.
