Will's true grieving has begun. Happy one minute, crying uncontrolably the next. Yesterday he was in shock, today, he realizes we are not going anywhere. He's great eating - just fill him up like a baby bird, but change his diaper? Total dispair, and hysterics. Those diapers can hold a lot of pee let me tell you! We signed all the paperwork today to make his adoption official. He can't get rid of us now!
He is starting to recognize his name, and can sign "more" to us. In a switch from our last adoption, he is much more attached to Greg. Greg can hold him, Greg can put him to sleep. He tolerates me, which is ok for now. He is fighting going to sleep right now, and every parent out there knows what that is like. Greg's arms are wearing out.
We are still not adjusted to the new time zone, and are walking zombies. We hope sleeping tonight will help us.
Please keep the good wishes coming - boy do we need them!!
Hello from Beaumont! We are thinking about the newest Simpson family member. Hang in there Greg & Beth, I think all parents forget the early diaper years. We love you guys and cannot wait to meet Will!
