Alright...I know that I just blogged not too long ago but I wanted to make sure to get this story out there because I figure people that know my children will be asking about it!!! SO....we have been trying to think of what to call the "little sister" from China, since we don't have a name and we don't even know who she is yet. It is really important that she has a name because Grady was getting really confused because we talk about baby Chesney being in heaven but then we talk about little sister in China. So he began to say that Baby Chesney was in China....well I didn't like that because it was almost like he was going to think that baby Chesney in heaven didn't really exist and I didn't want her to be forgotten so I knew we had to think of something. So...I looked up Chinese for little sister which is MeiMei (pronounced MayMay). Well this was perfect....it is easy for Grady to say and both boys could use this....so from now on we are going to refer to our China Doll as MeiMei until she has an official name!!! This will not be her name....but it is a way that the boys can talk about their "little sister" without being confused about Chesney who is in heaven.
I sent a video to a few people today where I asked Grady who his sisters were and he said Chesney in Heaven and MeiMei in China...this is exactly as it should be. She may be gone but her presence for those short months was very real for us and for our boys....she also made the adoption of MeiMei possible. God really used her to change our family and we know that she will forever be a big part of our family. I want to make sure that the boys remember that she existed and that we loved her.
So...if you see my boys and either of them talk about MeiMei...just know that this isn't going to be her name....but it's what we are going to lovingly refer to her as until she has an official name...which will be much much later after we see her sweet face!!! Also if you just want a good laugh and you know Grady ask him about it...it is so cute to hear him talk about it!!!!
