lovin' this girl!!

I know that I keep saying that each day
gets better and better with Macy,
but it's just so true!
And yesterday was no exception!
This shy girly is coming out of her shell
little by little and it's so great to watch her bloom!

For the life of me I can't get Lucy to let me
put a pony tail in her hair.
But oh sure, she lets big sister do it.

Stinker-doodle.

I made a brisket for dinner last night...but knowing full-well
that Macy doesn't like beef, I knew I had to come
up with an alternative.
So I pulled out some noodles to stir-fry and
began my Chinese masterpiece.

I kid you not...
in the midst of my culinary experiment
I looked over at Macy and she had this look of
terror and confusion on her face as she was
glaring at what was going on
in the frying pan.

We both just started cracking up.

She jumped up from her bar stool and grabbed
some chop sticks from the drawer...
ever so politely nudged me out of the way and
took over to try to salvage this savory delight.

Who knows what she was mumbling in Chinese
under her breath...
(most likely, holly smokes what is this white woman doing to my noodles?!).

I asked her if she wanted some soy sauce.
"It's very Chinese," I said.

She gave me that little quick shake of the head,
indicating that she didn't understand a word I just said.
So I grabbed our high-dollar life-saver (aka, translator)
and typed in soy sauce.
Then she completely understood
and concurred that we needed it.....

Then she picked up the salt shaker.
Looked at me with those questioning eyes....
"Salt," I answered.

No go.

Translator, one more time.

Ahhh, yes.
She slung some of that on there.

She worked hard at it but wasn't quite sure that she
had saved it from its previous, clearly inexperienced and
obviously not Chinese, cook.

Lucy loved it!
Hadn't even a vague recollection on how to use
chop sticks though.

Again, no problem.
Macy was there to make that rescue also.

Seriously,
the entire thing was a sweet moment.
A little more attachment was achieved.

Woot!
