Six Months Ago I Adopted A Beautiful Little Girl

My little girl interrupts my intentions of writing.  She is good at distracting me from what I mean to do.  "Mommy, rub my tummy."  And, of course, I comply because nothing at this moment is more important than a good tummy rub and the smile it puts on Lilly Ann's face.  She has been mine for just barely six months and I could not imagine life without her. She is bold and confident now.  No longer timid and petrified of everything.  She defends what is hers and easily asks for what she wants.  She knows twenty hand signals now - a dramatic increase from the five she knew only six months ago.  And she has become friends with Sylvester the cat.  A friendship good enough to play "chase the tennis ball" together.  She makes me smile and laugh out loud several times a day.  I am so blessed to have found my Lilly Ann.
