Hayden is talking about our "new baby" every day. He keeps asking, "are we going to get our new baby today?" It's fun watching him prepare to be an older brother. It's almost like it's anticipation for another Christmas morning kind of excitement. He's been pulling out his baby doll lately and playing with him a lot. It's so nice, because it easily opens the door for us to talk to him about what it was like when he was born and we adopted him. We tell him the story of how we met his birth mom (I will leave her name out for privacy to her and her family) and how much love she has for him and that we have for her. And he loves hearing his birth story and how we caught an airplane to be there to see him just minutes after he was born. He is learning about all of the love that he has in his life, not because he was adopted, but because he is loved by SO many people and how important he is to every single one of us. We are excited to bring a new love into our lives and to watch Hayden and his "new baby" grow to love each other and become the best of friends!
