First Cancer Auxiliary Meeting with Mommy!

I have to admit it was a big deal to me - I took Adaline to an Athens Area Cancer Auxiliary meeting yesterday afternoon for the first time. My "best friend" as a child was Dana Buck, whom I met through my mom's Cancer Auxiliary meetings - so there was something special about taking Adaline and giving her the opportunity to play with Patrick Rodrigue (who, by the way, was born two days before Adaline at the same hospital - and who's Mom also grew up at Cancer Auxiliary meetings!).

Even more exciting is that Adaline did great! She did clean out my purse at least four times (the last time was with Patrick's help!), but she didn't complain. The only time she cried was when we left. While I don't think I will take her to adult meetings a lot, it was still nice to know that she can handle 45 minutes in a somewhat quiet setting. :)

Adaline continues to say "on mo" which means "one more." She said "Will" yesterday, when her classmate by that name was leaving, and she will occassionally say "peas" instead of doing her sign language for "please." I dare say she knows about 50 words... Wow.
