All Will really wants for Christmas is a walking baby boy. He set that tentative date in his mind in hopes for a Christmas miracle and last week he started hanging up those hopes when what to ones wondering eyes should appear - santa and 12 tiny reindeer - O I mean, Ben's has taken his first steps! Will also walked in on Ben watching signing times yesterday and instead of sitting on his chair Ben was standing in the middle of the room. It's been soo much fun to watch our little elf progress onto his daddy's Christmas miracle :)
Another notable moment was when I was stalling Ben from pulling us out of bed one morning, by showing him flash cards on the phone, and I couldn't believe how much he understood. Every time he saw a card that he knew the sign for he would use his signs. Ever time he saw a body part he would point to that part-- eyes, ears, hands, feet... I know Ben understands a lot more than he can really communicate and the entire process just blows me away.
All I want for Christmas- I already have. Will and Ben have managed to already bring me the best Christmas I could ask for. You can never really forget the 12 years spent as a "young single adult" --the tears/fears/Independence and great friendship. But now to move onto creating a family. I could hold my two boys forever. There is nothing better than being Will's wife and Ben's mom. My Christmas miracle is smiling me in the face everyday, and I will forever be grateful.
