Since Christmas and New Year's, we have just been settling into our new life, and trying to figure out our new routine. Tomorrow, January 10, Brandy and I will attempt to go on our first date without Jack since the adoption. Say a prayer that Jack does not get too freaked out about us leaving. Hopefully his cousins will keep him entertained enough to where he doesn't miss us too bad. Next Wednesday, Jack goes in for his first visit with his pediatrician. Pray that everything goes well there, and that we are able to take him outside a bit more once he's had some vaccines. Please keep praying for us, and please come visit us sometime. Jack is so friendly and ready to meet you. While you are at it, pray for some warmer weather. Brandy, Jack, and I are so ready for some Spring weather. It's been tough having to stay cooped up so much.
I just want to thank God for some prayers answered, and give a short update on the fam.
JoAnna came over on Saturday with the kids, and we got to go on our date. Jo says Jack didn't even ask about us. That morning we distracted him with a bath while Brandy went to Wal-Mart. It was only the second time he had been without her. He did great both times.
There is an obvious language barrier when there is a two-year-old and a boy who speaks Chinese, but there is no fun barrier. Although, Jack does look annoyed in this photo.
Please, Brandy, let me give him a mohawk.
Date prayer answered Saturday. Outside prayer answered Sunday.
He looks good in a hat.
We tried to prepare ourselves for a kid who was afraid of grass and had never been outside. We weren't prepared for a kid who loves to ride on the lawn mower. He practically fell asleep in my arms.
Not only does Jack like to mow it, but he likes to move it move it, too. You can see that a fall and bump is no deterrent to shaking his rump.
We still have the pediatrician appointment on Wednesday, but Brandy had to make another appointment for Tuesday. The mommy radar had been going off, because Brandy noticed something that smelled like metal. She figured out it was Jack's breath, and I thought it might be a sign of a cavity or an infected gum. Mommy radar was proven right when Jack had a piece of tooth fall out of his mouth while coloring. He goes to the dentist today, and pediatrician tomorrow. Jack's done great with everything else so far, but we are concerned parents, and pray he stays tough throughout the next couple of days.
