Snuggling and watching a new video
This weekend we were finally able to have our Christmas visit with Cynthia. Our last visit was in August for Anthony's birthday party and we were excited to have her come to our home again. Anthony was especially excited. He told me to leave multiple times and go get birth mommy so she could come play with him. He had a whole agenda of items for her to do with him --- play with Play-doh, show her his new bunk bed, play in the tent, eat lunch together, etc, etc, etc. This visit was especially nice because it was just the four of us. They got to spend a lot of quality time together and he was glad that he had birth mommy's full attention. So much so that he fought taking a nap big time. Finally he fell asleep about thirty minutes before she had to leave; he just couldn't fight it off any longer.
Even though this visit was shorter and Cynthia didn't spend the night, I'm so thankful we were able to get together. I am still amazed that when we started the whole adoption process we were so scared about the openness part. As I always say, our relationship with A's birthmom has been such a wonderful blessing. We love her so much and will always be thankful she picked us to parent Anthony. He is our biggest gift and joy --- all thanks to her selflessness.
We love you, birth mommy, and will be forever grateful.
