Not only was Nick Santa at school..but this AM before he went to school, the Pearce's finally had their time with the judge and Nick was officially adopted by Chris.
When Becky and Nick returned from school after the party and play they stayed to visit a while because Emily was napping and we went out to Chili's to celebrate.
Now first...the questions the boy had for me. The mouth's and minds of babes. And yes...this process has been explained a couple times to him. Adoption that is.
I'd like to share my smiles with you though. Words from Nick talking to me about the adoption. " When will Mommy adopt me?" Me...Mommy does not have to adopt you. You grew in Mommy's tummy like Emily did so she is already officially your Mommy.
"When will Daddy adopt Emily?" (Love the minds.)
Daddy does not have to adopt Emily. Remember we told you Daddy helped make Emily in Mommy's tummy so he is her Daddy already.
He left it at that...content.
We had a great time at Chili's for dinner. After dinner when we were getting up to leave and standing around the table. Nick asked for our attention. Of course...he got it. He thanked all of us...name by name....for coming to help him celebrate. Then he looked at Chris and said, "Thank you for adopting me." By then the tears are filling our eyes but he continues with "I love you" to each of us by name..including Emily of course. I may be prejudice but the boy is SO special.

I can certainly see why you feel this boy is just precious, Sue. What a grown up thing to do, to thank each person. That means he is not shy either. Mine were both so shy. Nick gets the same breaks my daughter gets who has a birthday so close to Christmas. Not that she has suffered any and I'm sure Nick won't either. LOL Happy Birthday to Nick.
Sue, I have no clue why I responded like I did. I know now that Nick's birthday is not in December! What a putz I am. LOL I have Christmas brain freeze I think. Sorry about that. Congratulations to Nick on being officially adopted by Chris. I know this was a special day for all of the family. His questions just bring a tear and a smile at the same time.
What a precious boy,I know you will all keep memories of this day forever.
