We're all doing really well here in Kyleville.
Thanks to those who have posted comments, keep 'em coming!
Since our last posting, there have been several developments.
Noel & Joanne have returned to Michigan and are getting back into their routines after becoming such a welcome part of ours for the past few weeks. I just wanted to say Thanks to them for all they've done for use to help us acclimate Kyle to his new home. I get the idea that Kyle missses them, since the only "home" he's known up to this point has included them. (Noel, I hope the rib is healing up well.)
Kyle continues to make progress every day - getting stronger and more confident - learninbg that he can make more noises that make people laugh. He's gotten right into the swing of things around here, accompanying us on our amny trips & errands around town. He's very good in restaurants and in stores - he enjoys shopping!
He's taking more & more steps in his quest to string more than 5 steps together before literally falling into the receiver's arms. His routine had been to lean with his back against our family room couch, and reach out as far as he could so that he could take your hand for support before pushing off. He now confidently shoves off himself after gauging the distance and judging that you'll catch him sometime after step#4, but before a faceplant!
We've finally started to make prints from our digital photos. We took nearly 1,000 of them!
Here is a photo some of you have seen - it's our adoption announcement:
As of last week, Kyle has started at the Goddard School. He went 2 days last weeks (1/2 Days only) to get used to it. He did great!
This week he starts full days. Today was Day #1. Again, he got excellent reports from his teachers. As I picked him up today, I hung just outside the door to peek in. He seemed right at home, reading a small book and interacting with a few of his new little friends while waiting for me. As I walked in, he saw me and burst into tears!!! I'm not sure why, because as soon as I picked him up, and started to get him ready to head out, he began telling me about his day! He seemed a lot more vocal and quite happy on the ride home. He didn't fall asleep and managed to get all the way through the Baby Einstein "Baby Beethoven" DVD I played for him.
It's all good since he chowed on snacks on the ride home, ate a good dinner, got a bath (absolutely loves bath time and gets sort of giddy when he hears the tub faucet running) and went down to sleep almost immediately.
In conjunction with Kyle's school days, Lisa has returned to work. She seemed to have a good day - no dirty diapers would make anyone's days more enjoyable, work or not!
Again, thanks for all of your kind wishes here on the weblog, we look forward to the comments.
Here are a few more photos...
Enjoy - Talk to y'all soon!
