Although he is not quite yet on grade level, he has made SO much progress since we brought him home in April of 2009. He continues to amaze us on a daily basis with his actions, his words and just how dang cute he can be.... We have told him about the new school next year, but we are pretty sure it has not sunk in just yet. When one of the teachers recently told him, "I sure am going to miss you next year," his reply was, "Where are you going?"
In other news...
One of his favorite songs right now is the 80's classic, "Rock Me Amadeus," but when he listens to it, instead of hearing, "rock me Amadeus," he hears, "days on the bounce." If you go right now and listen to it again, while thinking, 'days on the bounce,' I promise you will hear it too...go ahead, I'll wait.........
...........................See? I told ya!
So now, when he wants to hear that song, he says, " I want days on the bounce please.."
When Lisa was recently volunteering at his school during Field Day.....
(when the whole school plays and competes in sporting activities)......
One of the things they had for the younger kids was a Hippity Hop, which he had never seen before...
And finally...
Two days ago when we were at the pool, I starting singing one of his other favorite songs, "I Gotta Feeling" by those fine, fine 'musicians' the Black Eyed Peas. He calls that one "the night song" because they say 'tonight's gonna be a good night," and 150 times....anyway....when I started singing the beginning part he said to me, "Hey Daddy, stop singing!" When I asked him why he said, "I can't hear myself swim." I apologized and stopped singing immediately...
