Giggles and Tents :)

There is nothing sweeter in this life than watching my son and my husband playing together. Today, they made a tent and they are being "monsters" with sheets over their heads. I hope these memories stay with me forever. I am listening to them laugh and giggle!

Austin is learning so many new phrases. He is talking in complete sentences mostly now. And he answers us so matter-of-factly sometimes as if we are kind of silly for asking such crazy questions.

Austin loves to sing. He was in Walmart earlier singing "Jesus Loves Me." It is so precious. He has discovered a love for Patch the Pirate. So we listen to those in the car almost every where we go. He asks for "Pirates."

We bought Austin sheets and a blanket for his big boy bed today. We didn't have success getting him to sleep in it, but that will come with time. And I think potty training is on the schedule for the next few weeks also. We have started and stopped several times, but I think he is ready now.

So many memories that may not mean anything to you, but they mean so much to me.

I had someone mention to me the other night that some people are scared to adopt and sometimes that is why they don't have children. I think that is sad. The things I would miss out on if we hadn't been blessed by adoption!

I am cherishing these times with Austin. While my blog is primarily to journal our walk through our next adoption, I also wanted to reflect and remember special times with Austin. So that is what today is dedicated to.
