Smackdown with Mama

For some crazy reason after 4 years of wrestling with Papa, the boys thought it was the night for WWF smackdown with mama. I tried, really I did, but I really don't have the wrestling skills for the goofy fun wrestling extravaganza like papa does. I am far better at snuggling up with the boys to read a book. After about 15 min's of ducking my head thinking my teeth were going to get knocked out by the flying body parts, the boys finally gave up after I accidentally ended up with my finger on E1's eyeball (slimy) and my long nails caught E2 on the cheek when I went to catch him during one of his running dives. Sorry guys... i think you might want to stick with Papa for future smackdowns.

Hubby and I have talked a little today about our family planning and future stuff. I have been thinking a lot lately about this current adoption journey and how it is so different than the other 2. I imagine that the first 2 were a lot like being pregnant where there were a lot of emotions, ups and downs and looking forward with great anticipation. It really was a journey. This adoption has been different, I am not sure why, but I think I am growing tired of the journey part and longing to jump to the end. I have thought some about it and think what it is is that I am tired of the waiting and the paperwork and I just want to be mama to baby girl...right now. I think there is a time in every family's journey where you are growing your family and then a time when you stop growing your family and start raising your family. I am so looking forward to the point in which we are raising our family and I no longer have to be watching adoption boards and planning finances for another adoption. I think T and I are in agreement that there will be another little girl down the road after baby girl, but for tonight, I find myself wishing I was tucking 4little ones in.
