A: Music and the Spoken Word
Ava had a long weekend and last night she let us know it. After church, 2 short naps, and visiting with her cousins in Gridley Ava was exhausted. We got home at midnight and unfortunately she woke up during her diaper change. Rich tried to lay her down, but she got really angry and cried for the next 20 minutes. After realizing she wasn't going to calm down Rich brought her into our room to comfort her. Ava was so upset she was shaking while she cried and sucked her thumb. I felt bad and was trying to think what I could do to help. I remembered that we had "Music and the Spoken Word" on our DVR so I turned it on. Within a few minutes Ava calmed down and halfway through the program she was asleep snuggling her panda.

I'm so glad to hear that you're trying to adopt again! I feel that every child deserves a sibling. I don't mind one bit that you copy some of the things on my blog. In fact, some of the things I have on my blog I've borrowed from others. Adoption is a difficult way to become parents and anything we can do to help each other advertise our desires and help these little ones come to good homes is what we need to do. I'm hoping this time around (with adopting) will be easier. We had two failed adoptions of baby girls before Avery and it was so hard to go through. I still wonder about those babies and how they are doing and if they're being cared for well. One thing will be easier this time around I believe, and that is that last time I had to wonder and deal with the question of whether or not I would ever get to be a mother. Now I know I'm a mother and I know that this miracle really can happen. So that makes it a bit easier.But of course I desperately want Avery to have a brother or sister to grow up with. I must confess that I do read your blog from time to time, my "imaginary friends" Clark calls it. But I enjoy reading about Ava and it warms my heart and strengthens my testimony of the church's adoption program. I can see how it is blessing the lives of these innocent little ones. I'l pray for your family because I want Ava to have a little brother or sister, too.
