update

Things are going so well and we wish Sean could just move in now, he is ready we are ready.

He had a sleepover last night and he slept through the night, but didn't fall asleep till later and now is tired today.

We went swimming last night and then came home and had a snack and watched some shows then put him to bed and as he was almost asleep the sirens in our town went nuts and they went down the street from where we live so he was wide awake.

Sean is a cutie pie and we love him so much.

Sean is talking more each day saying words and we hope once we meet the speech therapist that we can get him talking lots.

This is emotional draining end of the ride on the roller coaster, each night dropping him off is hard and is getting harder. I have waited 5 years for my baby and I still have over a month before he gets to live with us forever ughhh its so stressful. And exhausting who would have thought driving to sparwood two times a day and back would be so tiring its only 70km return so 140 a day but still with the emotions its getting to me

Tomorrow we will take Sean to church for the first time.

Slacker

Well we have been enjoying time with our son.

The other night I had a melt down, its so hard to leave him. When i know he is so ready to come home and if any problems come of it we deal with it later.

This past week has been fun and exciting we have done family bbq, gone swimming, went to Gramma's and Papa's house.

It is emotional draining traveling back and forth and the inlaws are here and trying to make their visit a good time too.

Having my ECE I am very laid back and relaxed and I know I drive people nuts but they are kids, they will be fine... If they didn't get hurt then they would be wussy little brats.

I did have to say I am his mommy and let me do it, you raised your children once already and I know I will probably have to do it more and more and more.... People might not like me for it but oh well its life and you have not gone through the emotional roller coaster I have been through in my life.

So one thing if your adopting and things happen how it happened for us please please make time for you guys first and then invite friends and family over a month or two later, its super tough and draining to be doing this all at the same time.

we won't get to see Sean for a few days this weekend as they are going on holidays but let me tell you when he comes back I am going to love him forever and I am not ready to share him at all... But you can come visit!

August 4th

Man I am so in love! And its so tough leaving him each day, I love him and want to be with him all the time!!

I am exhausted from this, we wake up and we travel 30 mins and we spend time with Sean and then we go out.

Today we went and took Sean by ourselves into town and went to a few parks and then took him shopping! He did amazing and is not showing any signs of not liking us.

Tomorrow Evan's parents will get to meet him, they will be here tonight.

August 3rd- 3rd visit

Today was such a great day!!

My parents and our niece came out to visit with Sean and they all enjoyed it.

First off Evan and I got there at 9:30 and we played and talked and then my parents showed up with Larkin at 10:30. They came in and met the FM and then we left and went to the park.

We took Sean to the park and had a great time, we hung out and played. Larkin and Sean are two peas in a pod! They had so much fun together.

Sean was getting tired and was hungry so he was done at the park.

We had to drop him off somewhere else and he had a melt down, because he knew which way he wanted to go. Man the kid is strong you need to hold on tight.

We had a great day today!

Can't wait till tomorrow!! We are going to take Sean to another park and hang out with him.

August 2nd- Second visit

Well today was our second visit and let me tell you it was amazing!!

I love him and he is so damn cute and such a little ham

Him and his daddy were running around and he fell on his bum and he whined for me to pick him up, I did we cuddled and then I put him down.. Then he fell on his bum on purpose and whined for me to pick him up!! Damn he is so smart and cute!!

Sean does not have a big language, Sean has fragile x and autism but he is a smartie pants and I just am amazed by him!

Today when we got there he went right for my purse and wanted the pad of paper and pen I had last time. These are amazing things!

When your told your child has these needs and that he is so far behind in his development and to see these amazing things it brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.

With lots of help and love and support I believe Sean will succeed in life!

Sean is getting so use to us that its great, tomorrow we are off to the park with my parents and Larkin and with the foster family.

Sean asked his fm (foster mom) to pick him up, so she did then fm said to Sean maybe your mommy wants to cuddle, I put my arms out to reach for him and he put his out and we cuddled!!

I love my little ham bone!

July 31st- Visit 1

Oh man I am so in love!!

Love isn't even how to describe it! I am a mommy and I love my son to pieces! I may not haven given birth to him but the love I have for him after laying eyes on him is just one like a normal mother has when she gives birth to a newborn. I didn't want to take my eyes off him, I just wanted to sit and watch him for two hours today.

He is my little hambone, oh man the love that little boy is going to share with us is amazing!!

So we got there, we walked in and he was at the top of the stairs and he was saying hi!

We went upstairs, Evan and I sat on the couch, he kept looking at us and then would run around and watch tv. Oh yeah he grins from ear to ear all day long!

So we werent allowed to approach him, and so we didn't really I tickled him one time and then I moved to the floor to be at his level. We gave him a stuffed frog and he doesn't like it (oh Well) hahaha

Evan put the frog on the floor and said is that your frog, he passed it back to Evan and shook his head no no no.

He loves the camera and can say cheese!

We did get to see him eat a banana, the kid loves food!

We also seen him through a meltdown and hit his head on the floor, this is a big no no and the foster mom tells him NO

We got to see him interact with the foster kids.

We were leaving I asked for a hug and he gave me one, then he slid down the stairs and wanted to come, he was putting the shoes on. Then he hugged me and Evan again and we left it was hard.

We are in love! We love him to pieces!

We get to see him again August 2nd for lunch- its also my birthday!!

Well I will post more on Monday!!
