He's going on 11 months and changing so fast. Each time I get a Well Baby Check he's doing great, and each time I get new pictures, it's like a world of difference! I forget how much babies change in the first year! I can. not. wait. to. get. him. home!!!! Hopefully he'll be submitted in early January for his Emigration Permit.....like I said hopefully! There's no sequence when it comes to this process - which is very frustrating. There's no picking up the phone and calling direct to see when every little thing is done over there in Seoul. I just have to sit back and then freak out!!
When I finished up work in mid November, I knew it was going to be a long couple of months to get to January 2011. I'd read where adoptive mom's from the Korean Forum said to stay busy for the last few months, it helps. Okay... I can try and find something to do.... but what? Thank goodness I took that to heart and came up with a couple of ideas to keep me busy. I had to or else I'd go nuts.....I'm already half way there, ya know? (enter hysterical annoying laugh hehehehehe) Umm anyway, I like crafts, so I looked into that. I settled on 2 projects. The first one is sitting there waiting to be put together.......I'm a little apprehensive about it, so I stuck to finishing project #2 first. Wanna see?
It's a Korean flag ornament. I made it out of clay that bakes in the oven, painted it, then sprayed it with clear acrylic sealer. I put the date on the back to remember when our journey to little Aiden started!
Taylor wanted one to go on her little tree.
I've made a few extras, so they're on my big tree. Now every time I look at my Korean flag ornament, I'll remember Aiden, my little Korean baby till he comes home! :) So every year I put it on my tree, I'll remember what I did to pass the time waiting on him to come home to us! Aiden, we're coming ... as soon as you're ready! :)
