Special Time Of Year

This is a special time of year in our household. Not only was it Valentine's Day yesterday, but Sunday is Ian's Gotcha Day!!!

Two years ago yesterday we boarded a plane and headed to India. Wow. It's hard to believe how much our lives have changed in just 2 short years. I've been very "teary" yesterday and today. Just thinking about how blessed we are to have been given our most amazing gift....Ian. He is such a good little guy and we love him so much. I'll post more about our Gotcha Day happenings on Sunday.

He continue to amaze and entertain us. He's now in a new class at daycare. He moved up almost 4 weeks ago. He's back in a class with his buddies Tezzie (Cortez), Sol-mon (Soloman) and Peston (Preston). He really likes his new teacher, Ms. Michelle. I don't think he's crazy about Ms. Diane yet....but he'll get there. His vocabulary continues to grow. Things come out of his mouth and I have no idea where he's heard them. So far...nothing really bad though.

His new thing this week is the Hokey Pokey. Wednesday night, we did the Hokey Pokey probably 20 times. He just giggles and sings. It's cute as can be. Then all three of us danced around the living room and ended in a family hug. Ian said..."we're in our home?". I said "yes, this is our home". He said "this is good mommy". He was so right....this is good.

We're working on potty training. He does really well some days and others...not so much. I think it's helping to see the other little kids in his class using the potty. Hopefully we won't have too much of a set back once we get Drew home.

No real news on the Drew front. Hopefully we'll hear an update in the next week or so. We're still hoping for a March travel date....but who knows.

More later this weekend....with pictures.
