On April 17 we celebrated our first anniversary with Aiden in our family. It's hard to believe a year has gone by. One year ago we were really struggling to help him adjust and feel comfortable in our home, and now he is happy and playful most of the time. We have come so far. Here are some of the things Aiden is now able to do.
- He speaks in 2-3 words phrases
- He can count to five although he always skips the number 3
- He is trying hard to learn his colors. Once in awhile he gets them right, but most of the time almost everything is either blue or orange.
- He can throw a ball better than any 2 year old I have ever seen. We're already counting on a baseball scholarship. :-)
- He recently learned to ride his trike and now wants to ride it everywhere.
- He to has learned to share! This was a tough one for him but now he probably shares better than Jordan.
- He has learned to fall asleep on his own without me laying right beside him. This was also a tough one but now he goes to bed like a champ.
Aiden's foster mother recently sent him a gift. One thing inside was this Pororo backpack. Pororo is a well known cartoon in Korea. Aiden was so excited to have a backpack just like his big brother.
Hey Kristin! I've enjoyed popping in from time to time and checking on you since our boys came home about the same time. It's funny bc i feel like I could write alot of you list down ....2-3 word phrases, learning to share, etc. It was a tough adjustment for 6 months but the last 6 months have been so much better. I'm so thankful they came home when they did. A few more months may have made things go even longer. Glad to see ya'll are dong well!!!!
