This is only a stage...this is only a stage. I am practicing it already! So, when is #4 on the way? LOL. About the registry, I will let you know when it is done but I think it might be better to get things (if you want of course...I can't stop you from doing what you want to do...LOL) after I come back from the first trip. I should be back for nearly a full month before I go for the second trip. That way I can get a feel for what she likes and what I think would be appropriate for her. They say that a child that has been in an institution will be delayed three months for every year they spent in the orphanage. So, by those numbers she would be more at the level of a four and a half year old. But either way I will definitely let you know when it is done. And you can decide to wait or not. Thanks in advance!

I am getting too old too bend over and pick up 25 pounds of dead weight with diaper bag crashing off my shoulder as I call out to other two kids to stop forward progression momentarily.........I just keep saying......this is only a stage.........repeat......this is only a stage....luckily the other two skipped this stage, but I was younger then too if they had gone thru it : ) I am still terrified every day I wake up……how will I survive the day with Monster Man Ian……almost two year old that goes limp on you and you have to peel him off the ground in stores, streets, home, etc when he does want to do what you want him to do.

I seem to be seesawing between full out excitement and complete terror. LOL. Fortunately I am only terrified for a few seconds before I go back to full out excitement! But it makes for an interesting day. I am pretty excited! I seem to be seesawing between full out excitement and complete terror. LOL.
