More of my days.............

We made it through the final adoption hearing on Monday and our little boy is legally ours now! It was really kinda weird. You have this child, who has BEEN your child for over 3 yrs-almost his entire life, and you have to wait on other folks to say that it's ok for him to BE your child. LOL! I guess the weird thing is these people will never see him again, most likely, and will have no more input in his life but still they are the ones who say whether he can stay with you or not. Not trying to make that sound bad, it's just totally weird. Maybe others who have adopted can relate to me in that? It was a formal hearing and we actually had to take the stand again. We also had to listen to a divorce procedding before our turn. So sad.

We had several family members there and our little man had a hard time deciding how to spread himself thin enough to be in contact with all his favorite people at one time. Ha ha! He's quite a social little thing. He gets along with all age groups, but I attribute that to him not being confined to his peer groups alone. He was very excited and didn't really know why. He was hugging old people that walked by in the hallways. He felt very safe with all his own family right there with him. He made one old gents day by running up to him and wrapping his wee arms about his knees and hugging him. That man smiled everytime we saw him after that! I wonder if he will become some kind of diplomat someday. That could emcompass so many fields. ;)

Today the wee one is running a fever. Not to bad and really doesn't act sick, except to show that he is a bit achy. We are having movie day to get him to rest up. He really wants to go outside and play, and doesn't understand why mom will not let him just run amok out there.
