Johnny's Gotcha Anniversary was a few weeks ago, but I wanted to share some extra pics that I took, and also share a special way Johnny and I celebrated...just us.
When Johnny met us one year ago, his head was hung down, he was very shy, and oh so scared! I took a few moments and just loved on him, and then I did something that I had NO idea how impacting would be to him at the time...I offered him a lollipop.
That was it.
That was THE icebreaker.
Do you know, he doesn't like any other flavor of lollipop now?
It has to be a cherry lollipop.
Even other brands...he always says, "Mama, this isn't the same."
So on his One Year Anniversary...I offered him another cherry lollipop.
I think I have started a tradition!
Perhaps when he is 40 I will still be offering him a cherry lollipop for his Gotcha Anniversary.
That's fine with me!
And yes, I've made a note to self: bring cherry lollipops to China for kiddo #5 and #6!
