On November 10th
we are celebrated being home with T and M seven months!!!!!! Sorry this is a
few days late…life is busy with 4 kiddos in our home! Time is just flying by
and the holidays are basically here…woo hoo! We can’t wait to make tons of
memories together this holiday season. Here are highlights from our 7th month
together:
T*N***E:
-You went to the “Happiest
Place on Earth” for the first time…Disneyland!!! Your favorite part of the day
was meeting 3 “real” Disney princesses (Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping
Beauty). You are also a major thrill seeker as you giggled and laughed
uncontrollably on all of the big roller coater rides and asked to go on them
again and again!
-You continue to be a
super-star soccer player...you score an average of 3-6 goals a game!
-We signed you up to start
playing softball in the Spring (you have asked to play ever since you saw X
playing baseball when we first brought you home in April)
-You enjoyed your very first
Halloween. You were the most beautiful Princess Tiana ever! The funny thing was
that we went trick-or-treating with some friends in Hermosa Beach…It was a
little cold and I told you I had your jacket if you wanted to put it on. You
looked at your beautiful princess outfit and said, “No Mama, I’m okay”…LOL, you
did not want to mess up your outfit by putting a jacket on top of it!
-You had a hair style with
beads in it for the first time…you enjoyed making noise when you shook your
head around.
-We had a visit with our
social worker. She is so happy with how well you are adjusting!!!
M*L******M:
-You went to Disneyland for
the first time! The best part for you was eating a huge lollipop! It was so
much fun to see the “Happiest Place on Earth” through your eyes!
-You loved Halloween! It is
a holiday that truly celebrates your sweet tooth! It was so cute to see you in
your cuddly dragon costume walking up to just about anyone saying, “Trick-or-treat,
thank you.”
-We found out that you had a
break in your arm at some point in your past that did not heal correctly. It is
something we will have to get fixed at some point, but we are hoping we can
wait until after the holidays.
-You continue to make us
laugh with the silly faces you make and the never-ending singing that comes out
of you. Your mispronunciation of “up above the world so high” (in Twinkle,
Twinkle Little Star) and “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall…” is really cute! Your
gruff voice adds a “special element” to every song you sing! :0)
-You are doing so well with
respecting boundaries and obedience. It is wonderful to be able to enjoy being
with you without the constant struggle of enforcing rules and boundaries.
-Our social worker is so
happy with how well you are doing! She says you are such a sweet boy…and we
agree!!!
Thanksgiving and Christmas
are just around the corner! We are so excited about this time of the year and
to be able to celebrate our faith and our family together!!!
