Baby's first gift!

A former student of mine came by with a gorgeous blanket she made for us to sell for our adoption fundraiser. She also surprised me with gifts for baby! I love that she brought menthol bath soap (for those sniffly days) and Dreft spray-on stain remover along with the most darling pj outfit and hilarious onesie. The most wonderful thing she gave baby was a framed story about adoption that made me tear up.

Here it is: "I was sitting in a busy behind a mother and a little girl who seemed to be in a bad mood. The mother had blond hair and hte little girl was Asian.
'You don't love me!' the little girl said angrily.
'Of course I do, honey!' the mother kissed her on the cheek. 'Why ever would you doubt that?'
'The kids at school said that because I am adopted, you can't love me like a real mother!'
The mother looked the little girl in the eyes and said,'You know there is only one difference between you being born to me and being adopted. You know what that is?'
The girl was quiet for awhile and then asked in a sulky voice, 'what?'
'Being adopted only means that instead of you growing in my tummy, you grew in my heart.'"

Baby is definately growing in our hearts...we think we're about to burst!
