Sad day

Yesterday we gave Jade back to her mother. I have had to give a child back before and it does NOT get any easier. We still have to go to court tomorrow but the child was so torn and confused I thought it best to let her go a couple days early. I will miss her alot and hope she always knows how much I care for her! It is very hard this time because we went into this to adopt and my husband's sister changed her mind (or never really planned to let us adopt in the first place). I could be angry and bitter but what good will that do? I have a son that needs me. Today we are taking him to see the movie Rio...I don't know much about it but its the only kid movie playing and well I am sure he will love it. I know he is needing mom and dad today...and I am needing extra Ky time too.

A positive!

Kyler has not wet the bed in at least a month...probably more!
To be honest with you I was getting worried this would never happen. I know I know kids go at their own speed and all that mumbo jumbo BUT he was almost 6 for crying out loud!
Daddy claims it was because he told him he would have to do situps (horrible horrible daddy) but I think its the fact he does not get much to drink after around 5. He does get a nice size drink after dinner but then that is it!
I am just so happy we don't have to buy pullups anymore (those are NOT cheap) and I don't have to wake up smelling like a men's bathroom!

Our last week as a family of 4

This is our last week with Jade. Granted she is our niece and we will see her quite often, but this is our last week as parents to her.
It has been a very difficult decision with many tears shed. I just hope we have made the right choice for everyone.
Maybe when I feel better about this decision I will be more willing to talk about it....

Pictures!

Kyler's Dino Journal...Spiney

His T-Rex

Sorry it took me so long getting these on here. Is my son an artist or what?!

Our "garden"

I am getting a bit worried it seems our plants are dying. We had a beautiful flower one day on the cucumber and the next day it was dying. I have not done a thing different to these plants! The only thing I can think is being outside after all this time inside is not a good choice for them. I don't get how I am suppose to harden them by sitting in the shade for a few hours if they are going to die. I do not want these plants inside all summer long! Some learning experience for the kids when I don't even know what's going on. If anyone out there knows what may be wrong PLEASE help!

Happy Mother's Day!

May all the mommies out there be spoiled rotten today!
I plan to go shopping...It's the only day besides my birthday I can enjoy it without the hubby fussin!

Some changes

Our family will be going through some changes soon. Some happy...some not so much. I will be sure to update once these changes have taken place. Watch for a new blog name sometime soon.

I can do it

Let me do it
No mom I can do it myself
My son is growing up and while I should be happy I am just so sad.
He wants to do EVERYTHING on his own, he doesn't need mama's help :(
I now its a good thing I just wish he would slow down!

Big head..

So my son has a big head....its no secret its huge! We have a little saying for him that he has a big head to hold his big brain. Today we were at granny's house and he comes up to me "Mom can you imagine if my brain was even bigger my head would be so big I would fall over" Ahhh I love being a mommy to such an imaginative lil guy!
