Today (8/09/12), I was listening to our son talking to GM. GM was telling Wiggly about the new kitties at the farm. GM said: "they would make your mother sneeze." For some reason, the phrase "your mother" really hit me. In a very pleasant way. The essence of the word "mother" just brings out so much more impact to me. Not that being called Wiggly's Mommy means less to me but being called "our son's mother" just brings a new perspective to my simple minded brain. I like being called Wiggly's mother and I love having been given the blessing to be Wiggly's mother.

Tonight, our son prayed this spontaneous prayer: "Tet you God...Papa John, Tet you God...Gnana, Tet you God...Iiip, Tet you God...Patty, Tet you God...Wiba, Tet you God...Itah, Tet you God... Doey, Tet you God...Wabay, Tet you God...Dayday, Tet you God...NayNay, Tet you God...Nam, God tet you Dohn. Aaaamen!"

We pray he continues to have a thankful heart and grows up really knowing the Lord. Years before Wiggly came into our lives, his cousins would always give thanks for "getting to come to UD and AC's house," or "that UD and AC got to be here with us today," or "that we got to sleep over at UD and AC's house," or please help AC to feel better." These have always blessed my heart and now to hear our son giving thanks for his cousins....melts my heart.

Case settled

No jury duty for me next week! Yay! But at the same time, I will no longer have any excuse to not start packing and clean to get our house put up in the market. Busy next few weeks ahead.... but that's a good thing. I find I'm not as patient as I was 2 years ago waiting for our home study to be scheduled. I am counting the days; I don't believe I did that last go around. We were spoiled the first go around that's for sure: referral prior to a
home study, fairly smooth paperwork from start to finish, 9months wait from start to gotcha day/family day, fairly smooth, easy transition/adjustment/bonding process and, most importantly, our son turned out to be very healthy, easy going and very well adjusted child who knew how to love back even from the get go. As UD mentioned in our 25 item questionnaire for our adoption paperwork, our first process has been a "dream come true." So I'm needing distraction, whether I like it or not. I should do a bake sale as a fund raiser... been making cupcakes and cakes lately just because. Fund raiser... that's an idea! Better idea than packing and cleaning anyway. 

Going to the fair is pretty good idea for a distraction!
