Coming from Chopsticks: Show and Tell~

     Today was show and tell Day!!! First stop.....The Junior High!! Madison was told by the Assistant Principal that she wanted me to bring Mya in!! I asked Madison, you have show and tell in Jr High, and she said, "Yeah, if you are Mya!!!"
     So we went to the Jr High and met the office crew and made our way down to see her Language Arts teacher!!! She was a BIG hit!!!!!!!!!!!
     Then, we had some time to kill, so we went to where I used to work, Mya's pediatrician's office! We were there for 2 hours! It was so great seeing everyone and again showing off Mya to all of my co-workers!!!!!
     Next stop, the boys' grade school! They have been waiting since we got home for us to bring Mya to school for show and tell!!! It was so sweet, as soon as I went to the office, So many of the faculty came in to meet MYA!! She was and is so popular! It is so amazing all of the support that we have had through this journey!
     We went and made a visit to Myles' class and his teacher had me sit in the chair and all the children, 1st graders sit on the carpet and they were able to ask me questions about Mya and or out trip to China!!   It was so cute!!! The questions they ask were adorable...I think the first one was.....Does Mya like to hit...hmmmmmmmmm, by the looks of Myles face when he went back to school, Id say yes!!! Although, that is sooooo much better since we have been home!!!!!
     Then on to Mason's class!!! Again, the children were asked if they had any questions for me or about the trip and I believe the first question was, "how do you communicate with her if she doesnt speak our language?" Very good question coming from a 3rd grader! I just told them that love is a universal language and so is smiling!!! I also proceeded to tell them that just like when they were babies, when Mya points to something, we say what it is for her so she will learn!!! They thought that was neat!!!!!!!
     Next we went to the other 1st grade classroom! A friend of mine is the teacher and she hadnt met Mya yet and was soooo excited!!!!!!   All of her students crowded around Mya and they also had questions! One question was, whats that thing by her eye??? I told them that it was a birthmark and that she was born with it! The teacher was devastated that they asked that...I told her that it was ok, kids are curious and that is what they see! Then, the next question...........................Mrs. Clayton, why are her eyes slanted?????? I thought the teacher was going to cry, she was so embarrassed that he asked that!!! She said to the child, REMEMBER when Myles told us while showing us his album, that the people in China were born that way?!? It was soooo cute!!!! You cant help but laugh!!! Kids and what goes through their minds is so funny!!!!
     It was such a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!
     Please pray for Mya, as I sit here blogging tonight, she has had a really rough night already with her night terrors. It is 12:25am and she has had 3 real bad ones. It has been several nights since she has had any, so I am not sure why tonight, she is having so many problems. I just go and love her through it and tell her Momma is here and pray over her!   So, if you could join me in prayer for her and her sleeping, I would really appreciate it and I know that she would too!!!
