We were so lucky to be invited to a couple of Autumn Moon celebrations this year with friends. Grace is getting better and better at socializing and while she still needs to know where I am at each moment, she is doing really well. She plays in the basement with the other kids, comes up to check on me every 10 minutes or so but then goes right back to playing in the basement, a big big step for her. Not sure how things will play out over the years as Grace gets older but for now I like to keep some of her birth culture in our lives. Grace and I don't have a huge connection at this point with other Asian or adoptive families. There are only a handful who live in our town and all have children much older than Grace so I'm so thankful to be included in Julia's get togethers (plus they are fun for mommy too! The highlight of the festivities this year? In the past Grace was terrified of the dragon costume. The first year, she screamed hysterically, the second we couldn't be in the room or anywhere near the dragon, this year, success! She actually wanted to be the dragon in the walk around the block!
