This top photo is priceless to me. I am crying looking at it right now. Right before they left, he learned out to CRAWL! It was not the get up on your knees crawl, but it was a get wherever you want to go kind of crawl. Do you see him reaching out and touch my hands?? So many times he would sit in the floor and whine at me, and I would clap my hand and say "come to me" and he would just keep looking at me all pitiful. This day, the day before they let, I said, "come to me", and reached out my hands and he CRAWLED to me, and when he got to me, he reached his little hand out to me and touched it. Aww...I was about in tears when it happened b/c I was SO PROUD of him, and also so blessed to have gotten to see that before he left.
Daycare is hard on this little boy. He was moved up to the 1 yr old class not long ago, and he barely gets a nap all day. This day, at just 6:00, 30 mins after I picked him up, he was OUT! Bless his heart.
Maury,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts have been with you ever since I heard on Tuesday that Hunter and Amber had moved. You all did such a great thing for them. I'm glad there is another nice family for them, as well, and that you will get to see them. Maybe your kids can go to or give a party for Hunter. I do know you need a well-deserved rest (and to be able to get everyone in one vehicle)!
I just got around to reading your blog--the first time since our wonderful visit with you. We had such a great time. All of the children were terrific, so sweet, fun, and well-mannered. I loved the gifts they had selected. I'm trying to get my thank yous to them.
I'm so proud of you. Take good care.
Love,
Your aunt
