Scroll down. Pictures from December are here.
Big Brother's gonna sit on me!
What's new with Titus & Mike?
After being declared potty-trained, Titus is back in full time diapers. Hypothesis: He is dismayed about wearing four layers of pants (cold apartment), or we pushed him to hard for perfection and he pushed back. Try again later.
Titus' personality is emerging. Telling scenarios:
1. Climbs up on a two-foot stool. Says "jump!" and jumps upwards, then down. Doesn't make a clean landing and face-plants on the nose. Ouch. Some crying, hug and kiss on nose. Says "again" and climbs back up. Titus is not cautious and he's a thrill-seeker. (But he is afraid of a toy lizard that grandparents sent in the mail.)2. Watching a movie clip about a boat, sitting on a little red chair. Michael wheels over in his walker and starts messing with Titus' chair. After repeating "Mai-Mai, no!" Titus whacks him on the arm. Mom will not have it. Movie over as consequence, short fit thrown. Then, as instructed, Titus says "Sorry Mai-Mai" and gives him a hug and kiss on the arm. "You can't watch the movie because you hit your brother." Titus, with look of solemnity, nods his head, "K. K." Titus is teachable.
As for Mikey boy, he has two teeth! They emerged right around Christmas Day, and are located on the bottom front. Michael gets around the house in his walker. He has a will to wheel into Titus' room to grab for any accessible toys. But Mike probably won't be rolling over or sitting up anytime soon because he wears two fuzzy body suits + two sweater tops + thick overalls, which inhibit movement. Michael is happy and easy-going. He gets lots of love and attention from our neighbors, friends and random whoevers.
Haha! Look at that face! I brag about those little guys all the time!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading the post. Sounds like the two boys are enjoying themselves
ReplyDeleteI have your blog up on my favorites and check on it regularly. I am glad to be able to keep up with you guys through this. The boys are getting big!! Jonathan was looking at the pics with me and I asked if he remembered you guys. : )
ReplyDeleteI am thankful that you are continuing the work over there. I know it's a sacrifice in a lot of ways, but it's also a blessing too. We miss China, but we know we are where we are supposed to be.
Keep up the great work!! Tell the boys we said hey.
