Innocence of a child will put a smile on your face!


I finished putting our labels on the little banks!!




We have been talking to my babysitting kids about us adopting, I went and checked out children's books about adoption to read to them, to help them understand a little. They are so excited!! they keep asking so when are you "going to have a baby" and I have to remind them that I am not going to have the baby, that there is a special person out there who is going to have a baby and need us to take care of that baby. We told them to think of all the things you need for a baby, so they started naming things off, a pacifier, a bottle, diaper bag, crib, car seat, toys, food, etc.... and we asked them do those things cost a lot of money or a little? Their response was yelling--A LOT!!!! So when i showed them that we were going to pass out these little banks for families to save their change so we can save up money to get a baby, they were like "do I get one" so i said sure! they all chose which one they wanted and went home. One little girl in particular was just so excited that she could help out by saving change, she was so proud of the bank that she wouldn't let her sister even hold it, she said her sister loses things and "I don't want her to lose my bank" It made me laugh. So this morning when she came back she had her bank with her, I was a little shocked, she and her mom informed me that she went home and emptied her own piggy bank and put almost all her money in our little bank and was so excited to show and count how much money she saved for us! Wow, an innocent child doing her best, that is what keeps our drive up to keep fishing for a family! We know the joys that children bring we get to see it everyday through my babysitting kids oh how i love them!


I started babysitting Kambria when she was 4 months old and she is now 5
She is so proud of her money she raised for us to get a baby!
