Paperwork

Oliver loves coloring and making creations from his collection of supplies he stores in what we refer to as his "art cabinet," which sits in our dining room.  Last weekend he pulled markers and construction paper out of there and happily announced he needed to do paperwork.  When pressed, he clarified he was doing paperwork for the party.  And he had to label them so we knew in which order they needed to go. 

Sigh.  It's totally normal for kids this age to play pretend.  Then there's my kid who plays pretend paperwork.  But can you blame him?  That's what he sees his parents (well, his mom) doing.  Paperwork has been and will continue to be a fixture in our lives.  It comes with the territory with adoption.  The "paper chase" is officially on as we work towards completing our dossier. 

Hopefully Oliver doesn't grow up thinking everything good in life requires paperwork, even birthday parties.
