held Matteo. You can look back and see my post here
Thank you Georgina for reminding me...things have been busy these days with juggling a few things and just don't seem to paying much attention to days floating by. Tomorrow is family day in Ontario and Matteo and I will spend it together as a family. Have a few things in mind but nothing set just yet. It has been a busy weekend. There were winterlude activities planned with a number of adoption families...will probably only be able to join them for a pot-luck dinner tonight....also the SPA group was having a get together tonight.
Last night instead of the adoption group dinner, we got together for dinner with the godparents for Matteo's baptism and we made the bonboniere to give out as gifts to those attending the baptism...will post photos on that later so it will be a surprise to those attending....They turned out exactly as I had wanted them so was very happy....Things have been going
very well for the most part. I am also on reading week so will enjoy no teaching, no prep, and no marking, and having a few days of stress free living...though of course there is always stress....Matteo wants my attention immediately when he needs something and this is probably the hardest part of caring for him, as he is easy to care for...it is the immediate demands he makes and sometimes it isn't possible as I need to be preparing food, formula, doing laundry and I don't have enough time to do this in the short naps he takes and can't leave it all until after he is asleep for the evening....so at times he has to try to be patient, not easy for him, and not easy for me.
Other than that, I enjoyed looking back at the blog posts and remembering those first few days. I am so glad we are here and not still there in the beginning of our relationship. It does indeed get better and better as you get to know your child's personality and they start to blossom as little individuals....so Happy Anniversary to us. I am posting a photo of the three families who I hung out with. I travelled with Georgina and Mario and they adopted Galen and met him on the same day as I did Matteo. And Lea adopted Zeke, our adoption journey was very similar and we had our G&R together. All of our children are from Vung tau 1....this photo was taken a few days before we left Vung tau for HCMC.....very happy memories!!
3 months, 6 months, a year, 18 months, and now 2 years - every time it is a new relationship, and it just keeps getting better and better! (Until puberty I am guessing?!!)
