This week MK made a big statement. She announced that she, sadly enough, will NOT be joining us on our trip to China. Why? She states that the trip will take too, too long and she won't have enough room to do her twirls and her ballet in the hotel! I have told her and told her how she will miss us and how we will miss her. She is relentless. Last night she put her little hand on my face, caressed my cheek and said, "I know Mommy, I will send my purple phone with you to China. You can call me everyday and you won't get sad." Silly, silly girl, she IS going to China, ballet twirling, purple telephone and all!
