Firsts

I know you are all wondering where my last posts disappeared to. Well some people don't like honesty. They don't like to see the struggles a child goes through when they come home. So today I will post some first pictures. The good happy days that are becoming more frequent.

First Time at a Mall & First Pretzel. 

First Snow in America (yep same day)

Which leads to first time PLAYING in the snow. 

Making snow angels for the first time.

First time playing on the toys at the mall (different day) and his first Icee (sorry no picture)

 First Valentine's Day party at school.

(yes the dog ran off with one sucker and ate it)

We have other firsts like leg braces but I am a bad mama and don't have pictures of it. So I leave you with a picture he said
"Mom photo please."

He is right now tucked in his bed. Freshly bathed, legs stretched, lotion put on his dry knees. One happy little boy with a sad past. A past he is starting to tell us about. The night he was transferred...... The foods he likes but they did not have. The foods he did not like, but had to eat.

Adoption is hard and you can't save them all but it mattered to this one......
