We've had Kole home 15 months

Kali and Kaci ready for Sunday School
Then add Kole who thinks he is ready for Sunday school too.

It has been 15 months since we stepped off a plane from China and came home with our new son. Some days it feels like we are still babysitting a kid who never leaves and other days it as if he has always been here. So that tells me we are getting closer to that time where it will feel like he has been with us forever every day. Some things that we have learned are

1. If he is hungry or tired he will antaganize until someone including parents loses their temper.

2. If you say you will be doing something and it does not happen right away, he will lose his temper and lash out physically.

3. If given even an inch he will take a mile

4. His dad is his favorite and gets extremely angry if even the dog sits on dad's lap.

5. If he can gethis sisters to chase him, it is his best game of all


We have also noticed the following:

1. He is cute and funny

2. He is very smart

3. He is very imaginative

4. He can be very caring

5. He likes to snuggle (only with daddy)

6. He likes to ride his bike

7. He likes to run

8. He likes to be tickled and to tickle

9. He likes karate class

10. his favorite food is anything with a lot of sugar!

11. If offered rice that is all he will eat so give him meat and veggies first.


He will also wear long pants and long sleeved shirts when it is 99 degrees out.

Today Boyd is taking Kole to the monster truck show if it does not rain all day again. Kole was mad because they did not go yesterday while it was raining all day. So, he lashed out at Boyd which was totally un called for. He managed a sneak attack and kicked Boyd in his back adn kept pushing on him until Boyd had to discipline him. It was cleared up when I got home from the grocery store, but we had to have a talk about venting in another way. I'm not sure it came across to him, but he knew it was wrong. Kole does show a total lack of respect for his father. I think he just stays away from me unless no one else is around.

Here are some pics taken the night before. Kaci was at her first sleep over with a friend without her sister with her. So I will try to get some of her today to add later.
