fingerprints

His tiny fingerprints are all over the house.

On the mirror in the hallway where we make goofy faces at the glass and say "Who is this? Who is this? Is that my little boy?"

On the glasses that he reaches for at the dinner table. (Last weekend he reached forward and grabbed a glass and tipped it over the both of us.)

On all of his toys.

Forever on my heart. His fingerprints.

We went to the city services building on Thursday night, down into the basement to their fingerprinting processing room to get our fingerprints done for what will be our third homestudy.

Two times before this we have completed all of the paperwork, filled out all of the forms. Jumped through hoop after hoop.

I did it this time with him in my arms.

A completely different experience.

He smiled at the police officer doing our prints. The cop said: "You have one happy baby."

And one happy and grateful mama.

Homestudy # 3 is almost complete.

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!
