"I love you"

The highlight of my day yesterday was when Arianna tried to sign "I love you". I was crying and the whole nine yards. I can't wait untill the day that I hear her precious little voice tell me she loves me. Then right now we were sitting at the table...attempting to eat..and she looked at me with the cutest little eyes and signed "I love you". She just melts my heart!

Speaking of signing she has picked up another new sign, "no", which I'm hoping she won't use all the time. And come to think of it she signed "outside" for the first time this week as well. I am always amazed when I see her signing her things, she is so smart!

I'm getting a little nervous...tomorrow I will be heading to Phoenix for an all day meeting for the support group. I am getting the opportunity to meet with some really great people who oversee our program but this will be the first time I am this far away from Arianna. I am leaving her in good care but I'm still getting nervous. It's one thing to leave her with family for a few hours but to actually be going out of town is a little different. I know everything will be fine but I can't help getting a little nervous. Well I better go, I'm staying at my moms so I can get an early start in the morning.

Be brave Vanessa...she'll be fine (you on the other hand...you're going to be a wreck when she goes to Kindergarten if you're having trouble with a day trip!)
Just enjoy your day out. Drive all the way with your windows down and your radio loud! (my favorite way to travel!)
I hope the support group goes well, you meet great people...and you RELAX. Enjoy the day. (just keep saying that to yourself!)

How wonderful! I can't wait, too, until I hear Nevaeh say 'I love you!' Good luck with the meeting tomorrow. Its a wonderful thing you're doing with the support group. I'm sure Arianna will be just fine, and it will be so fun for her like an adventure!

Big Hugs,
Tina, Jon, Gabby & Nevaeh :0)
