Monday, February

We have been home 2 weeks now, and things are going really well. The first week or so I think Alex was very overwhelmed. He could not sit still for 2 seconds to watch tv, play with his toys, or sit with us. He would just put all his toys in bags and carry them around with him around the house. This last week was totally different, though. He really enjoys watching 'the Wiggles' and he will play with his toys, especially his cars, and will sit and color or let me read to him.
He is speaking more and more english all the time. It is really fun to hear the things he will pick up on and say. He really is a good eater, but I can tell he is already starting to get a little more picky. He loves bananas and yogurt and will ask for them all day long. He is also sleeping all through the night, which is great. He will not take a nap, but I think he is at the age where kids stop doing that, anyway. I wanted him to take a nap, also, just so I could have a little break in the day, but we'll figure something out.
We are so glad to be home with him, and are really enjoying him. There are, of course, a few things we'll have to work through- some attachment/adoption issues, and some just typical 4 year old! Overall, though, things are going great!
