T*n***e:
This has been another great month! You have grown so much more affectionate with me and Daddy. You will spontaneously tell us you love us and ask for hugs and kisses on the lips through out the day. You have been fairly reserved with your affections until a few weeks ago, so it is wonderful to see you reaching out to us for lovin' now. You are learning English so fast and devour letter tracing worksheets!
Here are some
highlights of your 2nd Month:
-You are officially signed up to start school in September! You were assessed by teachers at the school and they both said you are incredibly sweet!
-You went swimming for the first time and had a blast! Although you were shivering and cold, you did not want to stop!
-Your English is coming along SUPER fast. You are already able to put several short sentences together. While playing with something at church I heard you say to Xavier, “Come on Xavier. Wait…Let me show you how to do it.”…I was shocked!
-You have really warmed up to Xavier and ask about him during the day when he is at school. You also are more affectionate toward him…which just makes him melt! He loves you so much!
-We are having to put some boundaries in place to balance your helpful nature and your desire to be the “Mom” in our house.
-You went to your first birthday party for your friend, Jessica. It was quite the party with 2 bounce houses, a caricature artist, a scientist show, a clown, craft station, etc… You fit right in and had a wonderful time!
-You understand routine very well and are able to recite our nightly schedule: pee-pee, pajamas, brush teeth, read Bible, pray, night-night.
-You said your first prayer that came from your own desire (instead of the prayers we always do at meal time and bed time). I was not feeling well and you came up to me and said, “Dear God, to Mama feel better. In Jesus name, Amen.”…so cute!
-You continue to express your new love of fashion and enjoy putting your own outfits together.
-You can quote the show "Yo Gabba Gabba" and like to add your own dance segment. You say, "My name is Tensaye and I like to dance"...an adaptation of a well known line from the show!!!
-Your favorite topic to pray for at night is your little sister, Faith.
-You are very confident and secure in who you are. You have no problem expresses likes, dislikes, wants, needs, etc..

M*l******m:
I am so happy that you have spent WAY less time in time-out this month compared to last month!!! You are catching on to your new world with boundaries and rules. You are really settling in and are a true sweet-heart.
Here are some
highlights of your 2nd Month:
-You went swimming for the first time! Since you sort of have a “no fear” attitude, we had to watch you closely…you had so much fun!!!
-We took you to the zoo this month! Although you did not enjoy walking around so much, you were really proud to shout out the names of the animals you know along with their animal sound. "Oh Mama, lion...Roooooaarrrrrrr!"
-You really want to do whatever your older brother and sister to and get upset if you can’t have the same privileges they have.
-You love wearing zip-up pajama’s with the built in feet…even though we are starting the summer and the pajamas make you sweat like a crazy man!!!
-You are much more calm when it comes to food and eating. The food obsession we thought was starting to develop is just about gone! This is a great thing!!!
-You can speak in short sentences. Last month you would say, “Mama, eat”…when you wanted to eat something. This month you have started saying, “Mama, I want to eat, please.” We are so proud of you!
-Your pronunciation of words continues to need some work, but we have some really adorable video clips of your words! Our favorite includes your attempt to say "Gorilla"..."Ga-Billa!".
-Your favorite topic at prayer time is dinosaurs.
