I wish I could have a "spy cam" somehow build-in to my reading glasses (which I wear most of the time anyway) so I could capture the audio and video of things my son does and says to replay for his grandparents and family that live so far away! I ...

You article "Almost Hands Free" was hilarious! I laughed the whole way through! I love to laugh out loud, so thanks for that!

Awesome photos! I just left a super long response to your question about listening. My son is 6 but emotionally closer to 3 (has autism dx), so I'm sure to be dealing with a lot of the same things you are. :)

Where's my video "Spy Cam" when I need it?

I wish I could have a "spy cam" somehow build-in to my reading glasses (which I wear most of the time anyway) so I could capture the audio and video of things my son does and says to replay for his grandparents and family that live so far away! I am pretty good with the camera - still photos aplenty at our house - ...seriously, tens of THOUSANDS of prints and digital pictures and he's not even 4!

Don't get me wrong, I have a DVD Video camera AND a Flip Video, and I use them both, the problem is… Continue

What we do for our kids! (and the payoffs) *smile

This weekend it was just the two of us, my DP (dear partner, right? or shall I say S.O. for significant other? Not up on all the terms LOL) Anyway, he is in Japan on a business trip so all attention was on/is on Hayden fully and completely (which I love).

As I have written before, my son has a complete and TOTAL obsession with airplanes and anything that flies, so his idea of a great day is to go to an airport and watch the planes land and take off. His favorite is "Airbank", officially known a… Continue

Being "Present" For Those Special Moments...

This morning at 4am I felt a little hand on my arm, I opened my eyes to see a small, dark figure at my bedside. No words were spoken. I held out my arms and lifted all 34lbs of him into bed with me as he snuggled in, molded himself to my body (with his Piggy in hand) and wiggled his head under my chin.

As he immediately fell back to sleep I lay there wide awake with my nose in his soft, curly hair and my right hand stroking his soft cheek thinking, it doesn't get any better than this! My heart… Continue

Adoption, the movie

I don't know how many mom's/families are interested in adoption or have adopted kids out there but last night I came across a fascinating movie trailer for a DVD coming out very soon called Adopted: The New American Family. www.adoptedthemovie.com
I highly recommend it for anyone interested in inter-country/multi-cultural adoptions. Or if you know of anyone that has adopted from China, Korea, Vietnam, etc. it could give them a bit of insight on how to help their children cope as they grow up on… Continue

Cool, I just added photos...

Hard to believe how fast they grow! A few photos from day #1 in the hospital and a few from last Fall...My God! From teenie tiny baby to (practically) grown up (little) boy in a flash. Makes me want to start the adoption process all over again. *SMILE*

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It's not so much the food and the family, although they are both great. Its the fact that we have a chance to take a step back and say what we are thankful for and I love that! My list is long, here'...
