Cody's finalization was yesterday. It feels so good to know he is all mine and I don't have to worry about social workers and documentation from doctor's visits. It feels even better that he is no longer a ward of the state of Texas. Making choices for his best interest is up to us now. He could spend the night with a grandparent or aunt without having to ask permission. If he is asleep and one of the kids has an early morning appointment, then I don't have to wake him and take him with me. He can stay asleep and be here with Denzell in charge. (Julianne often never knows that I left because I am back before she wakes up, but poor Cody had to be drug out of bed for appointments that weren't his.)
Ok, now for the pictures. :)
The above picture is Cody at an appointment the day before his finalization, when Daddy was already on his way to Texas. I think he is smiling because I told him that next time he can stay at home and not be drug out. :)
That picture is from a VERY late night party after Daddy got home the night of his finalization. He was sleepy, but pumped! He picked out the cake at Sam's Club. I let him decide how to have his name written. He still insisted on "Cody Unroe". He's been home 6 months and he is still obsessed with the last name!
Isn't he just the cutest??
