Sorry I have not posted in some time but I have been extremely busy. Of course the holiday season is right here and now. I also have 2 teenage birthdays at this time of year. And now I have a little one that is keeping me very busy. I am literally exhausted.
He is picking up on some English. My daughter Sommer loves it. He said her name and is saying other words here and there. I still like his French though. I will say Rocky and he will say "we mama". I love that and I don't want him to lose that but he will some day. Today he ran up to me and said I love you mama.
It is 60 degrees in Wisconsin in December. We went for a walk tonight and it was gorgeous. He loved it. He ran most of the way. he has tons of energy. He loves being outside but does not like the cold. He loves to play soccer. We could play all day. He doesn't like to wear shoes. It is hard to get shoes on him. He can be very independent and stubborn.
We went to my school today for a visit and he did so good. I took him to see my class and then to a kindergarten room. He wanted to stay there. he cried when we left so I think we are going to put him in school ASAP. Kids is all he knows and staying home with mama and papa is no fun for him.
Yesterday was a tough day. he cried 90% of the day. Language is the most difficult barrier between us. He tries to talk with us but we have no clue what he is saying. Then he breaks down and cries. I feel terrible. i wish I could help or do something.
His eating habits are getting better. Yesterday he was so hungry he came home and licked the crumbs off the table. He looks in the garbage a lot and we can't throw some things away. He will take them out.
Today he saw popcorn pop in the microwave and loved it. It is all these little things that are so cute. Dan took him to the park the other day and he was in heaven. Swinging on the swings and playing on all the equipment. He still is a good sleeper. He goes to bed at 8 and wakes up at 7 maybe a little earlier. He loves to sleep in Sommer's room. She loves him so much and babies him. He loves giving her little kisses. they have such a strong bond.
At times things can be very difficult with him. We are still working on many things. He has NO FEAR. He will run full force out in the road. He will jump from anything. I was at a hockey game the other day and I looked in another direction and I looked back at him and I saw him running into the rink full of people. I could not find him. He was having a blast and I was so scared. I can't talk to him and tell him not to do those things. Today we were at a basketball game and he would run out into the court so I grabbed him and went home. I wish there was a way he would understand you can't do certain things.
Another thing that really bothers me is when I am out and about in a store and he talks Lingala. I get strange looks from people because I think they think he is talking like a baby. I know we all judge but when it is you in the spot where people are looking it is very difficult.
Rocky will wear dan and I down but we love every minute of it.
