I am sure you all know that we took our first placement in Aug. I wish I could share with you all the details of this amazing boy and the struggles he has gone through but sadly I can't. He is 4 years old and so absolutely adorable. If you have seen him you will agree he is absolutely adorable. His smile makes my heart melt and when he cries I wanna cry too.
No one ever tells you what its like to go from no child to a 4 yr old instantly. Probably cause most people start with a baby. It has been eye opening but I must say Matt and I really enjoy the fact we don't have to deal with diapers. I cant believe how many questions that they ask......its like a never ending talk box.
I think the best part is he loves being apart of our huge family with all the grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. When he talks about them he says he is such a lucky boy! it makes my heart melt. Matt and I are so blessed and lucky to have such an amazing family. Everyone has welcomed into the family with open arms. I love watching him and Aleasa play together they are best buddies, he loves going to see MIMI she gives him chocolate, Papa has fast cars, Grandma and Grandpa Hobbs have given him a ton of car toys he thinks that is the best thing ever! And his Aunt Sara gives great hugs and he says Cousin Austin is his favorite! LOL, he is so precious!
We went trick or treating on Halloween, he was so excited to be Captain America. And he is super excited for Christmas to be coming up. Every time we go to the store he says I'm going to ask Santa for that and lists half the store. We talked about how Santa won't be able to bring everything and he said okay how bout 3 things. LOL, works for this Santa. Matt and I can't wait to take him to meet Santa.
I think the most rewarding of all of this is the love and how unconditional it is. He loves so much its amazing. We have been talking about Jesus and Gods love and he is so excited about the bible. He loves the story of Jonah. He has been going to Awana's on Wen and it amazes me how much they remember. He is a verse memorizing fool! I can not wait to see what God has planned out for him.
I hope to share more later as the months progress. We are at over 2 months now and have our first court date this month! Here is hoping we learn more and can look to the future.
God Bless You All!
