We struggle...I can totally relate to this problem! We struggled with the nomenclature as well - and settled on Family Day. 10/23 is "Bean's Family Day" xx/xx/200million will be "Sister's Family Day" - so that is how we sorted it out.<BR/><BR/>To be honest, even "Bean's Family Day" is not accurate, as she did have a family in China before we met her. When she gets older I might change it to just plain "Bean Day", but for now, we will stick with what we are doing - celebrating how lucky we are to have met her. Even though she was miserable that day - we talk about that too. I want her to understand what we are marking.<BR/><BR/>I don't have any great suggestions for celebrations - maybe ask him where/what he wants to eat? We did our travel group reunion as the big celebration. I think you read that her "treat" was three tic-tacs after dinner. Go Mom - that mother of the year award should be here any day (snort)<BR/><BR/>Anyway - happy whateveryouendupcalling it day! Hoping this year's festivities require less medical intervention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
