For an hour this afternoon, both Mi Na and Stephen were napping. I don't think this has ever happened before. It was very nice.
When Mi Na woke up, I nursed her in my comfy chair, and Mei Li played quietly in my room.
As I started to doze off, Mei jumped up and said, "Do you know what would be a good idea? If we made princess hats! TWO princess hats. One for me and one for Mi Na. We could roll up paper into a cone and THEN we could stick ribbons on the top! Wouldn't that be a great idea? Come on, Mom! Let's go make princess hats!"
I didn't feel one bit like doing anything but sleeping, but I got up and made her dreams come true with some paper, tape, and ribbon.
Sorta ghetto, right?
Mei Li asked me, "Mom, could you draw a heart on my hat that means you love me? Could you draw another heart that means I love you?" Then she asked for hearts to represent her love for Mi Na, her Papa, and Stephen. She drew butterflies on both hats and said, "I hope Mi Na loves butterflies." She also drew some flowers and one very special dancing flower.
Before the kids went to bed, I put some clean sheets on Mei's bed. She has the top bunk and it is difficult to put sheets on up there. Mei Li did her best to help me.
Mei: Do you know why I'm helping you, Mom?
Me: Why?
Mei: Because I love to hang out with you.
Mei is my BFF. This one too:
P.S. Do you see that double chin?! I can't stand the cuteness.

I wish I could nuzzle my nose in all those delicious chins! I forget . . . What did Mei Li call that spot? I'll have to go back and look. . . Adorable!

Mei Li is so sweet. I loved the conversation she had with you She has great ideas.
you make me want to spend every day with you. also, i never could have gotten up and made hats when on the verge of a nap. you are a strong, commendable woman. =)
That is super cute! Me Li is always dreaming up something it seems! I love that mind of hers!
Every time I read your blog, I'm reminded of what a sweet, adorable family you have :) Enjoy that double chin - it's one of my favorite things about my baby girl too!
