Miss Megs and her "connection" to baby Mhyia

Our niece Meghan is 2 1/2 and starting around the beginning of this year we started telling her about baby Mhyia and how she lives in China. I think the first time I heard her talk about her was at our CNY dinner this year when she brought her a little present. She was going to head upstairs and when we asked her where she was going she said "upstairs to see baby Mhyia" we explained that she lives in China and won't be here for a little while.

Whenever we ask her who lives in China she will quickly tell us "baby Mhyia" and "Kylan" lol

Amy (her mom) has told her that when baby Mhyia comes home they will come to the airport and maybe they can bring balloons - well believe me she has not forgotten that - she has mentioned to me on several occasions about bringing balloons to baby Mhyia and that they yellow one is for Meghan!!

About a month ago Amy told me that Meghan had woken up in the middle of the night (very unlike her) and when they went in to see what was wrong she started telling them that Oakin (her nickname for Mike) and Aunty Tammy were going to China to get Mhyia!! Apparently they had quite the conversation about it in those wee hours of the night.

On April 16th Meghan was over, she had spent the night and we had put her down for her afternoon nap. When I peeked in on her about 2.5hrs later she was laying there awake and when she saw me she quickly sat up in bed and said "Aunty Tammy I am awake"!! Our conversation went something like this...

Me: "Oh good - did you have a good nap?"
Megs: "Yaaa"
Me: "Oh thats good"
Megs: "It is baby Mhyia's birthday today"
Me: " What?"
Megs: "It's baby Mhyias birthday today"
Me: "Really?"
Megs: "Yaa, we should have a party for her today!"
Me: "Well it might be her birthday today we will have to wait and see"

Too be honest I was so taken back by her random comment that I didn't really know what to say - but I did document it just in case!! We will have to wait and see! It is amazing how her little mind works!!

That's so sweet. How cool would that be if Mhyia was born on April 16?? Or even close! Special memories to cherish and share with Mhyia when she's older.
