Celebrating Birth Mothers Day

We went to the Aquarium with Ethan's Birth Mom in celebration of Birth Mothers Day. It is so nice to have such a great relationship with her. Ethan went wild like the first one ever to discover fish like these:

He loved that he was just barley tall enough to reach these:

and then..... We turned the corner and saw Penguins. He went ballistic. Duck Duck Duck. Maybe it was seeing them swim under the water that had him so awestruck. After teaching him how to say Penguin his version sounds like Pengue. It was so cute we had to buy him his new pal Pengue

I hope you all noticed what Ethan's brown T-shirt said. Adoption: Adored and loved by both my Families. I fell in love with this shirt ordered it just in time for him to wear it on that day. I am so grateful that he is loved and adored by both his Families.

This is a picture of Ethan and Kirsten. It was taken the day we were sealed to Ethan. To me it captured the love and happiness she has for Ethan.

On a funny note... After the Aquarium we went to Kirsten's house to spend some time with her family. Kirsten's Brother likes to teach Ethan all the things boys do. They have a small pond in their back yard. Her Brother took Ethan over to the pond to dip his fingers in the water and wipe them off on his pants. Ethan thinks anything with water is the Tub. So I've got to be extra careful. About a half hour later in the corner of my eye I saw Ethan standing one foot way from the pond. I knew I would not be able to get there fast enough and watched him take the one foot step and he fell into the pond. It's not very deep. He was only chest deep in water. I don't think anything surprised him like it did falling into the water. It was almost like "Why am I all wet?"

Today I am thankful for such a wonderful day we spent with Kirsten and her Family.
