New year's eve, my nephew who is seven, was at my office for a few hours. I have tried talking to him about our adoption and he gets it a little but I am not sure exactly how much. I have some photos of random cute Asian babies up in my office, it just makes me happy. Well, this picture was hanging up, I love this picture because it is just cute. I love the wrinkled nose, the hair standing up, the squinted eyes. My nephew looks at the pictures and asks who the babies are and I say,"they are just some Asian babies." He stopped at this picture and says, Asian babies can't laugh that much. I looked at him, kind of surprised and said, "really, why not?" I am expecting some off the wall answer. He proceeds to tell me that he can't laugh that much so there is no way an Asian baby can laugh that much. I said, "Well, how do you know?" and he continues to tell me, "they are no different than me and aunt Heather, if I can't do it, they can't." I said, "ok, you may be right." I was relieved to hear this coming from him because I was wondering how much was getting through to him. My nephew is such a good kid and I am just happy to see that when we get our child, he will have a wonderful cousin to learn from.
your nephew sounds adorable! and i love this picture!
