Twins

I don't think I really put it together in my mind that when we bring Levi home we will have "kinda" twins. Our little Zoë is 22 months old {birthday in September 2010 } and looking more closely at the paperwork we have on our little guy I think he may be closer to 17-18 months old. That's about a 4-5 month gap. So, for a good part of each year both Zoë and Levi will be the same age. This realization is really more of a "wow, that's kinda crazy!" than anything. I know our little guy will still easily take on the role as baby of the family. In many ways he will have a lot to look up to his older sisters with but I know he will will grow by leaps and bounds with love and care once he is home. I can't wait to see that happen. Right now our little guy doesn't walk and the orphanage he is at only speaks in Lugandan. {crazy right?} I am picturing this sweet little boy looking up at me and wondering, "what in the world is this crazy mzungu lady trying to tell me?" We will get to help teach him to walk and to learn English and I think that's pretty cool. However... today while at Costco as I was hurling another gigantic box of diapers into my cart I was thinking to myself "Diapers are expensive, especially for two! I need to get Zoë potty trained asap!" Ya know with all that free time I have on my hands right now...
