A few months makes all the difference

With me being in a such a good mood latley, I've decided to start talking to Ian again about his new sibling. We had a quiet discussion before bed (which he now sleeps in a big boy bed! Very big deal) about how he's getting to be such a big boy and how sweet he is. I told him about his new sibling (which we've been referring to as a brother, so let's hope there are truths to those statistics) and about how he currently is in Thailand. Of course the series of WHYs came after that, but I actually think I'm pretty good at that game. I'm not afraid to tell him how it is - at a two year old level of course. He seemed to retain the part about his brother being in Thailand. Which is pretty cool, because when asked he can tell you this tid-bit of information.

I've also recently written an article for my chapter of RESOLVE. It's the first thing I've really written in a long time. The acting-editor said she really liked it, but....I'm so out of practice, and exposition was never my strong point. It's hard to remember a time when I considered myself a writer and I had ideas flowing from my fingertips into the wee hours of the night. That's alot about what I wrote about - how I'm not the person I used to be or the person I thought I'd be. It was very theaputic (sp?) to write about all the emotions I've carried around with me. It's was me being able to make peace with them (and myself) which allows me to really embrace this enitre adoption process.
