Nesting

Happy 17months today to my sweet boy! We got an update from our social worker and he sounds perfect!! He is walking, saying some words in Korean, follows his foster father around and sleeps next to him(hope he likes Mike as much). He weighes 26.4 pounds. Nana bought him and Dillon new matching Thomas the Tank sheets. I got him the cutest 2T outfit, complete with plaid shorts! I painted what has been Dillon's room lavender and we will move Abby into that room. Since we bought our home almost 2 years ago, it has remained Beigeland. We decided that since Abby will be the girl surrounded by boys, she deserves a room fit for a princess. So, lavender walls, white and pink heart accents and white furniture. She helped paint until I noticed the lavender stripes in her hair. The little boys will bunk up in the bigger bedroom with the large closet. We got some bunk beds at our friends garage sale and Dillon says he is going to sleep on top! Hudson will sleep with us for a while. We have to be very deliberate about promoting his attachment. Rocking, limiting other people holding and feeding him, and not leaving him for a long time are all things we are planning to do to help him realize that we are his forever family and will never leave him! Just like our Heavenly Father! In Psalms, David describes our Father God hiding us under his wings. That is just what I plan to do with my new blessing, hide him under my wing and make sure he feels protected, unconditionally loved, and accepted!
