Milestones and Precious Moments

It has been a week of milestones for us. Mia had preschool camp at Redeemer all week in the mornings.  It’s been a great time to spend quality time with the boys.  Monday we ventured out to an outdoor, enclosed roller hockey rink to practice riding bikes.  I’ve been working with PJ a couple times […]

T is for…

Toilet:  To sign ‘potty’ in ASL, you shake the sign for ‘T’ …like ‘toilet.’  I realized a while ago that Ty can pee on demand for a treat (read M&M)  so we’ve started the potty (toilet) training journey for the third time.  Because of the language delay, we’re using ASL to help Ty communicate when […]

Feels Like Mine

It’s been a while since I’ve contributed a post, and I am interrupting a 3 part series that I was in the middle of with this post, but I am more in the mood to write thoughts than facts tonight. So, I’ve been asked several times lately “Does he feel like yours yet?” It seems […]

Precious

Since a couple of you have asked, I’d like to take this opportunity to explain our middle name choice for Ty and clear up any debate on pronuncation. (It’s a hard ‘G,’ btw.) Let’s start at the beginning (a very good place to start).  When we first received Ty’s file, we found his Korean name (Tae […]

Time Flies…

…when you’re having fun/chasing 3 kids/just plain old busy. Today marks 5 weeks home with Ty.  So what’s new you may ask. He’s coming into his own turning into a opinion-holding, tantrum-throwing, mischevious, rambunctious two-year-old.  He has a special place in his heart for “Ee-ah” (aka Mia) and Nana.  He’s learned that chips, chocolate, and fruit […]
