Both of my babies are adopted. When they were born, although physically they didn't look like me, my heart immediately ached for each of them and knew that they were mine. I also had no idea that I would know their voice, their laugh, their screams and their cries instinctively. If I'm shopping or out an about, I can hear all the children with their moms out there. Some of them throwing trantrums or having laughing fits. But if I hear my child, no matter how far away, no matter where we are, I know that voice. It makes me stop every time!

W...Cheerio glue - I live it every day lately, lol. Why the heck does every member of my family love those little things? <BR/><BR/>I think for me the intense love for another little tiny being was huge, that and the fact that I didn't know the transition of putting others' needs before my own would come so easily and quickly. And I never realized how soon a "fun" Friday night would become snuggling and watching a movie with the kids. And even though that sounds pathetic, I didn't realize I would be OK with being pathetic.A Crafty Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530128828277207683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091965591527056142.post-9261955929984397022008-10-08T13:21:00.000-04:002008-10-08T13:21:00.000-04:00My boys are 12 and 11 and what you realize as they...My boys are 12 and 11 and what you realize as they age and grow is how incredibly different they are, how smart they are, how resilient they are- not because of you but in spite of you at times. And how privileged we are that God has graced us with their presence in our lives- parenting is the best!Melissa, Multi-Tasking Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552463538625125742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091965591527056142.post-13152528612903768672008-10-07T21:11:00.000-04:002008-10-07T21:11:00.000-04:00Wow, the cheerio glue, very fascinating.

Your list was great and hit most of them right on the head.

I am still learning and experiencing new things each day.<BR/><BR/>I have never been so content then when I am sitting with my kid in my arms and my wife by my side.<BR/><BR/>Also never knew that I would desire my wife so much when she was pregnant.
