Happy Family Day Naldo!

It's hard to believe that it has been a year since we have had Naldo in our family! He is the cutest, cuddliest, sweetest, busiest and sometimes naughtiest little boy in the world. He loves his daddy, hockey, his dogs and his sisters and brothers. He is into everything and keeps us on our toes. The other day I went upstairs and saw him walking down the hall with a clock radio, a roll of toilet paper and the lint screen from our dryer. That image kind of sums up our Naldo. We were planning our celebrating tonight with a cake, but Naldo woke up with poopy up to his armpits and has vomited and had diarrhea all day. I think we will settle for Pedialyte tonight and a cake when he feels better. We are so lucky to have this little boy in our family! Hopes and prayers for everyone to bring their little ones home!

Mary
mom to Bobby 11, Bridget 10, Angela 8, Eddie 4 (home from Guatemala in 2005) and Naldo 20 months (home since Feb. 08)

HAPPY FAMILY DAY SWEETIEPIE!!
I'm so sorry he's feeling awful, tho, what a day for the yucks! But also had to chuckle at the image of a toddler with the clock radio, lint screen and TP...TOO FUNNY
Hope he's better and you can have that cake soon!
