Anticipation

We have been counting down the days for 20+ days to Kayla’s birthday.  She signs, “Happy Day Kayla”, and I have to tell her how many more days.  We are finally down to 10 more days!!  She has received a box in the mail from her friend Ryan, and looks at it sitting there on the dining room chair, and I wonder what she is imagining is in the big box.  We have a trip lined up before we celebrate, so maybe that will calm things down just a little before the BIG day.  Kayla keeps signing, “SUPRISE, ME” and is sooo ready for the day to come!! Her big sister started decorating the dining room about 2 weeks ago, so the excitement is soaring.  Anticipation is keeping her waiting…
