Red face in the eyes of my kindergarten son

my son came home from kindergarten all proud this week..
I have tryed my hardest to keep this adoption a "miracle" in my boys eyes.( even when I want to scream and cry..and say NOT FAIR!!.) anyways...he hands me a little art project they did..titled "what I most want to do in 2006"

below was a crayon drawing of
me -- my husband holding a suitcase-- and him with a big bag.(he says it a diaper bag).and his little brother (holding a diaper?!?!) with an airplane in the backround ..and at the bottom a tiny pink girl .. with a huge smile..

and in red pen the teacher wrote..
HE told the class all he wants to do is take care of his sister. in 2006
I praised him and gave him a big huge ...we hung it on the frig..
but later after bed time prayers and he was asleep..
wept like a baby..I will keep it for her.. and put it in her scrapbook..children are so sweet..it was one of those moments you will never forget..

I'm with Lynn, I'd love to see the picture!

What a wonderful thing to be able to show your daughter some day.

Your son has a true grasp on the important things in life.

Blessings,
Steph
