(NOTE: For the update on our adoption proceedings, scroll down to the 7/31 post, "Catching Up.")
Following is a conversation my six-year-old son, Sam, had with his friend Aiden on a recent play-date.
I had been asking Aiden about his brothers and sisters and then Sammy said:
Sam: We are adopting a baby from... from...
Me: Ethiopia.
Sam: Yeah, Ethiopia.
Me: That's in Africa.
Aiden: What's 'adopting'?
Sam: It's when you get a baby, but the mom stays regular and then you fill out all of these papers and then you get a baby.
Aidan: (After a thoughtful pause) Make sure you take a pen with you that doesn't run out of ink.
Sam: Yeah.
Me: (Trying hard to compose myself) Thank you, Aiden. That's very good advice.

love it, love it, love it!!! Don't you just love the simplicity and innocence. Don't forget that pen, Kristy... :-)
The Mom Stays Regular!
So helpful!!! Do you feel regular? I have never felt regular through this whole process, maybe I am missing something?
