Pinecone loves her "flower friend".
I have a lot to say, and they float around in my head, these prospective blog posts. But time and energy, alas, don't seem to happen at once, and they remain in my head. Things I think about writing about: raising a girl to be strong and compassionate, and not a spoiled brat; hyper-parenting and finding the balance between guidance and allowing; letting her work it out on her own in the morning so I get more than 4 hours of sleep a night; adoptive breastfeeding; cloth diapers; the books I am reading. Instead of using my blog time to write tonight, I instead enjoyed reading through my old posts about Pinecone's adoption and our first weeks together. It seems like a lifetime ago. Well it was a lifetime ago, Pinecone's lifetime. I love her so dearly. At times it is very hard, but many moments are wonderful and they wash over the tough times. She and I are in love with each other, and I get to spend every day with one of my best friends.

ooh, I love that last line!
And, you are very smart to write a list of things you'd like to write more about,now you have that, at least!
I do that too, already, go back and read old blog posts when part of me thinks I really should be writing new ones!
I'd love to read a post by you on adoptive breastfeeding. Folks have been asking me about it on my blog, and I just want to be able to link to you and say - go here, look! she did it!! ♥
As much as I'd love to know what's going on, I completely understand why your priorities lie elsewhere. B is only 3 weeks old and already I have problems relating her to the baby I held in the hospital because she's changed so much.
I'd love to hear about the cloth diapering though. I have them, but have been using disposables because I just don't think B would fit into them yet. I really should start playing around with the prefolds.
I know what you mean, and then half the time I forget what it even was I wanted to write about. I feel like I've lost so much of my memory since becoming a mom, but it's not that exactly, more that my memory is preoccupied with the well-being of another human being!
Love the end of this post, so very sweet!

Oh, I love it! Yes, so many more blog posts swim around my head than those that actually get written and published. I think it would be wonderful to have real time conversations with you on all of the topics you mentioned.
I can so relate. I have so many ideas in my head. I didn't start our blog until R's 1st birthday. I really wish I would have started it when we began our adoption journey like I originaly planned. Then it would all be in writing...and semi-organized:). I was just thinking about blogging, but must get back to decorating for Christmas:)...adorable picture and I love the last line too...beautiful words...Lori (Resolve)
