Bonding Day 8

We arrived today to find a bald spot in the back of D’s head! We asked what happened and apparently he was chewing gum last night and put it on his pillow and forgot about it. When he fell asleep last night, it got stuck in his hair, so they shaved it out. Lovely…little boys, gotta love ‘em! We brought all of his new clothes and tried everything on. He especially loved his new shoes that fit him and his sunglasses! He walked around all the office and showed everybody his new sunglasses because he looked so cool! Each new shirt or pants we tried on him, he had to walk out of the room and go see what it looked like in the mirror! It was adorable, he really loved everything…especially the socks and shirts with cars and motorcycles! I can only imagine that making the monumental switch from briefs to boxers can be hard thing to do!!! We brought him so new underwear (boxers) and he said that they weren’t underwear, just shorts and that is how he was going to wear them!!
During snack time today, he worked on learning the names of all of our family in the photo album that we made for him. (PS – Leah, we get complimented on the photo album allll the time!) He knows Sadie’s name without hesitation and also has Chandler and Nyah down. For some reason he really struggles with Tyler, Leah, Christen & Todd! He keeps calling both sets of grandparents the Russian term for grandparents! I know that our moms will just love being called babushka (sp?)! We also worked on counting in 5 to English and learned the English words for ball, juice, thank you, help me and ok! He now loves high 5 time with Dust and I! Every time he does something he looks to us like “are you going to say high 5”? Cuteness!
After snacks, we were able to go to a soccer stadium next door and play with a new soccer ball. We had so much fun and he loved running around. He loved to wear sunglass like mama & papa today and wanted to take pics of all of us in our shades! He didn’t bring a coat with him so he wore my hoodie which looked like some kind of Monk robe on him!

Love,
Cortney & Dustin Stone
