Happy 3rd Family Day!!!

3 years ago today my arms would be empty no more. They would always be filled with this little bundle.....We visited the Holt offices for the last time and were able to take this precious little boy with us, as our son!!!!
I remember that first night like it was yesterday. How he was so happy at first and we were thinking "wow, this is going so well".....until the novelty for him wore off and then all heck broke loose!!!! He cried and sobbed. He woke every 20 minutes all night long as I sat with him on my chest and soothed him with each cry. I remember watching American Idol over and over again (the same episode) as that was the only English speaking channel we got. I remember Joe sleeping in the bed and waking every 20 minutes too just looking at us. I remember Jae-min's smell, his breath, his look of shock. I remember giving him blankie because it smelled like his home in Korea and how it soothed him. And today that is still his blankie.

I remember every second of that night because that's when I became a mother. A mother to this little boy.......
Who is comfortable in his own skin to throw on some fairy wings and a magic wand (haha) and grant me all my wishes....
Little does he know that my wishes came true 3 years ago when I became a mother....HIS mother.

Happy Family Day little man. We love you more today than yesterday, if that is even possible.
