Busy, busy Drew....

Drew had his first gymboree class today and loved it!! He thought all the stuff to play with was great, loved the bubbles and the slides and had a lot of fun. He didn't interact much with the other kids, but was very interested in watching them...he was very cute! So, we're going to sign him up for it until I go back to work, at least, and then maybe Saturdays after that...

I also signed up for Mommy and Me through the local Chabad and we start that next week. It looks like a fun program with a Jewish theme, which I like. They have crafts and different things they do each week...

We also have plans to meet Auntie Kelly and Cole at Mystic Aquarium in a couple of weeks and a playdate hopefully in the next week with a friend who has twin 16-month old boys...

Drew is very busy!!!

He loves doing things though, and getting out of the house, and I do too. It's good for both of us! Tomorrow we're going to try storytime at the library and see how Drew likes that. Then we have our party with people from my work!

No plans for the weekend - it will be nice to hang at home since we've traveled the last two weekends...

I read some interesting articles this week about how children who are adopted when they are 12 months or older, tend to bond to their fathers quicker than their mothers. They say this is because they feel that the females in their lives (their orphanage caregivers) have left them, and men are safer...anyway - it was nice to see that this is actually pretty common and it passes, but takes a few months ususally.

Drew still continues to amaze us both with what he understands...

Today we were in the kitchen and I said, "Let's go upstairs and change your diaper," and he walked over to the stairs and started going up!! Later, tonight, he and Patrick were downstairs in the basement and Drew was starting to get tired and Patrick asked him if he wanted to read "Goodnight Moon" (his nighttime book) and Drew walked over to the bookshelf and got the book out and then put it back when they were done reading...what a smart kid huh??? :) He must take after his mother!! LOL....
