1st two days with Rocky

Our first day and a  half with Rocky has been very memorable!  When he first met us he was very shy. He was dirty looking and was wearing 12month clothes. When our facilitator left, he was sad and cried, however after we introduced him to some toys, all was well again.  We could tell Rocky wasn't used to having is own toys  because he wouldn't set any of them down.  He kept walking around with toys and food in his hands.  Rocy is very skinny, but don't let that fool you, I think he might be soccer star.  He loves kicking balls and is great at it. Rocky is also very good at playing with the different toys.  Other than that he spent most of our first day eating and drinking.  He ate everything he could get his hands on even though he probably wasn't hungry.  He did the same with drinking water...he drank like he was never going to see water again. We found out later on the next morning that all that water made its way out of his body during the night.  Pee everywhere!!!!  At night we ordered out some food...chicken for Dan and spaghetti for Heidi.  We figured Rocky could just eat from our plates.  That turned out to be a bit of a melt down for him.  He was crying and mad at Dan for eating the chicken.  We think he felt that since he didn't have his own meal that we were going to eat all the food and not share.  However, we finished out the night on a good note.  He watched his first movie.  We put Toy Story on the computer and he couldn't take his eyes off of it.  Even though he couldn't understand a single word he laughed often and seemed to love it.  The next morning (after cleaning up all the pee) Heidi took Rocky for a walk around the area. As there were checking out the area, a local women tried to give up her baby to Heidi.  When they got back Dan took him out in the backyard to kick the soccer ball and throw the football.  Once again he got to show off his great kicking skills.  He also surprised Dan by  just stopping, pulling down his pants, and going to the bathroom right there outside in the open. That is definitely something we are going to have to work on. He also likes to hit and bite when he is mad.  Dan got mad at Rocky and he was very quiet after being yelled at.  But time healed that wound and he is o.k. now.  During that time, Rocky laid with Heidi and they were able to have some bonding time.  Afterwards we took a little walk and Rocky was holding our hands.
