~An Assortment of News~
First, I need to start this post off by saying congratulations to Sean and Sonja, our friends! Their daughters case finally exited PGN after 7 months!!! They started the adoption of their daughter in November 2006, just a month or so after us. They have had an incredible journey faced with so many challenges. So CONGRATULATIONS to you both!!!! I can't wait to see Ms. Kayla home in Wisconsin! Rylan misses his girlfriend!
To Terri, who just came back from visiting her daughter Abbie in Guatemala.... my heart breaks for you! Terri's adoption was started even before mine and Sonja's! She has endured more ups and downs than any family I know and is still facing the trials of getting the process started under the new laws of adoption in Guatemala. Her blog link is on the lower right side of mine.
Summer is in full kick at our house! The weekends are full of activities, and Rylan's 2nd birthday is approaching on July 15th! I look at him and can't believe the amount of time that has passed. What a little character though! Last night when he was getting into the bathtub he ran to the potty. I plopped him on and he went pee pee! I was shocked! Normally I put him on and he wiggles down. Kuddos to his big brother who is showing him the ropes! At least he does teach him something good once in awhile ; )
Cameron's been having a bit of a rocky road lately. His listening skills are putting everyone to the test! He's got a little mouth on him too! We're working really hard at having patience... some days we do better than others. We've made another reward chart which really seems to help. We'll see how it goes, but for now, he's added a few gray hairs to everyone's heads!
Never a dull moment at our house, that I can guarantee you! The other night Cameron came out of our bedroom while watching cartoons with a disgusted look on his face. It was storming and we have satellite. I said what's the matter? He said "that damn satellite isn't working again"! Hmmmm, wonder where he gets that word grandma farm? Or he was overly excited in the car the other day and said "oh crap, look at that car. Holy shit, he can't go there"! I did address that one and said "Cameron, that isnt' a nice word". His reply, "what mom, crap isn't bad". He didn't even realize what he said, so I didn't pursue it. Hmmm, grandma truck, wonder where he gets that word? Don't get me wrong, it isn't that he has a terrible potty mouth. Just every once in awhile he blows you away with something out of nowhere.
I can happily report that Rylan's new word is Cocoa Puffs! It's Cameron's favorite cereal, so of course Rylan loves it too! Thanks Cameron for teaching him something other than swear words ; )
