One of the Great Wall adoption families is hosting a blogging carnival which gives me a wonderful excuse to write more.

On Mondays, we are supposed to share something joyful and I had a little beacon of joy just laid upon me a few minutes ago. I had just given my 2 year old son a bath and I was putting him to bed. My dad bought him a big boy bed for Christmas, so now I have the pleasure of laying in bed with him to read him a book. He picked out a book for us to read. I tucked him in, and I looked down at him, and noticed he was looking up at me. He then said to me, “Mommy, you’re pretty!” I am very thankful to have the sweetest 2 year old boy in the world.

I’m so glad you are particpating! Your son is ADORABLE! What a face! What a sweet boy–there’s nothing like that relationship between mother and son. Just today my 8-year old reached up to grab my hand when we were walking and gave me this smile that just stopped me in my tracks. Pure joy.
I love your blog–the colors are just beautiful.
Happy New Year!
