A loss for words

So it happened and I knew it would , just not this soon. I was bathing Baby Bear the other night in the sink ( yeah she is still small enough to do that when we do not have 30 minutes for all her bath toy play in the big tub) and there was a picture of her cousin on the fridge and he is crying, it was his newborn picture. She asked why the baby was crying and I told her that he was not happy to be taken out of his mommy's tummy. So she smiles and points to my tummy and says - "momma's tummy - I in your tummy momma". Well I did not know what to say - I really think she can not understand things yet and I think it is not really age appropriate but I do not want to lie and agree either- so I just say yes that is mommas tummy and she laughed and moved on to something else - so no biggie. But I have thought about it and wondered and consulted others and just worried about it - I sooooo want her to be alright with everything and know the truth but I want it to be presented to her when the time is right- well a few days later she is in the tub and we are talking and I bring it up that some babies come out of mommas tummies and sometimes it is not our mommas tummy but another tummy and she just looked at me like "why are you telling me this stuff?" I even went on to tell her that she came out of Goldilocks tummy and she still looked at me that way so I dropped it and it has not come up since ----- so anyway just wanted to vent I guess - it just took me by surprise - oh and any advise or anyone want to share their experience PLEASE do!!!!

Did I really think I was going to have time...

TO READ A BOOK????? I love all the suggestions and I actually got The Shack squeezed in ... but it has been crazy around the bear house!!! my little bears have been sick and esp. brother bear he is just pitiful -- he has been having really bad breathing problems and he is saying "ma-ma" and it is just so sweet but I think he has taken 10 years off my life this past week or so--- I have never saw a baby struggle to breathe like he has but I think we are out of the woods , he is still having issues but it is soooo much better! anyway just seems like awhile since I have posted - heck not sure when I showered last - :-) hope everyone is doing well I need to post pics soon - the kids are getting so big! well better run, the phone is ringing, the dogs are barking and both kids are waking up at the same time and I am not even kidding I think someone is at the door -ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

we made it final today

today we finalized on brother bears adoption. It was an awesome day but for some reason I was more sad today than I remember when we finalized on baby bears. Don't get me wrong the sadness in no way comes from my kiddos - it is from the birthmom - and not knowing his birthmom I wonder so much about her, esp. if she is alright and does she know that her son is loved so much! but it was great and it was really great for my husband because brother bear said - da-da about 200 times during court! here is a pic of our handsome son!

Snowy Day!

We woke up to snow this morning!!! In Mississippi! I woke baby bear up at about 6 a.m. to see the snow-- she was so excited-- fun! It is funny here because when it snows even a little everything shuts down-- we do not know how to function- anyway just wanted to share!

Thank You

Two simple words melted my heart today. I told baby bear that I loved her and she said , Thank You, I just looked at her and smiled and she said it again "Thank you momma". I just thought to myself what a great, innocent, sweet, response to thank me for loving her.
