Mara has dawned her true inner diva or what she likes to call "princessa". She lives in the tutu that her Auntie Denise gave her, wearing it over everything: pajamas, jeans and dresses.
Unleashing her inner diva is doing wonders to her self confidence - she has started to take her first steps on her own!!
But it's much more fun to dance with her Daddy!
As if a tutu isn't enough, she has to rock her Mommy's Michael Kors sunglasses!! She knows exactly where they are stored, pulling them out of the drawer and case (promptly putting the case back like a good girl) and prancing around the room (and mirror) with them on.
We got the tutu off long enough to start with her potty training. Thank god for advice from other Mommy's who suggested m&m's to entice her to use the potty. Amazing how those little buggers worked!!
She is learning English in leaps & bounds - lots of counting and A-B-C's. She learns new words each day and her favorite number is seventeen. Oh - and the wonders of western medicine! The giardia (and candida) seem to be disappearing: she is gaining weight (3 pounds) and has lost any trace of yeast smell. Her color is so much better too - surely due to being outside more but we have also put in a vitamin D supplement. It's so wonderful to see both her personality and health blossoming together.
