10 Little Toes


I haven't used this blog to blog much. I've used it as a place to post our journey of adoption. A place to post our profile book for those who are in that stage of adoption and are looking for ideas. And my last post was to announce the arrival of our sweet baby boy - Dayne J Thomas who arrive in March 2008.


So why am I back to blog here? Not sure...we do have a family website, I'm on Facebook and My Space (but never go there), I chat online with ladies who have become my dear friends as we all share an adoption link - but usually talk about so much more. So why here?


Again - not real sure. Except that not many people know about this blog so it's kinda like a diary, my personal journal!


On to the topic that brought me here....

10 Little Toes!

My sweet baby Dayne has the sweetest little toes on his feet!

I mean totally sweet!

When he sits in the highchair he swings his legs and crosses his little feet and it makes my heart jump a beat!

Another reason I think I love his feet is because they remind me of his birth mom and I love that!

The very first time we met Carrie was the day after she delivered Dayne.

As she walked into the hospital room we were waiting in across from her room while holding the bundle that would be the son we would both love forever I noticed she was barefoot. Why did I notice? What difference did it make? It didn't matter in the least, but I did notice. It was March and it was cold outside with a snow storm on the way and I worried that maybe her feet were cold, but she seemed fine.

Since that day when I admire the feet and baby toes of my little gift I think of his first mom and know that he is such a part of her. He has her feet! And though he doesn't mind socks and soft shoes, he likes to be barefoot too!
