My Little Guy

I just need to post some pictures from this past Sunday. Our Sunday ritual is generally:
1.) Go to Church/Sunday School
2.) Order Pizza
3.) Watch the Vikings

You may wonder why we are Vikings fans when we live in Chicago. Well, Shane grew up in Minnesota and we actually met there (I lived there for 6 years.) Therefore, Trey is growing up as a Vikings fan as well, even though he might take some ribbing as he gets older for his team choice. Actually, right now, Trey doesn't even watch the game. Although, he is gradually starting to take more of an interest and is beginning to comment on the games.

Otherwise, life is busy as usual. Trey is doing really well in kindergarten. He loves letters and numbers! He actually tries to figure out the first letter of random words quite often. For example, he'll heard the word "bear" and he'll say, "Buh, buh, buh The first letter in Bear is B". He is quite good at this activity too! He continues to amaze us! He is also very creative! He loves art class at school and made a beautiful painting a few weeks ago. The art teacher was so impressed, she hung it on her office door and made a point to show it to me!

Trey still continues to love the computer (at school and at home). We have gotten a couple CD-roms that work with:
* Dot-to-Dots (letters and numbers)
* Reading basics
Trey is sort of a "gadget-guy" so these tools have been wonderful to assist with his learning.

It's amazing how Trey has changed in the past 6 months! (Yes...it's been 6 months! We just completed our first post-placement visit!) His vocabulary is wonderful. The only issue now is that he still has a little accent, so he can be hard to understand at times. Also, Trey is eating everything that we eat! He has had a really big appetite lately and seems to be in another growth spurt. I just remember when we came home....all that he would eat was mashed potatoes and cucumbers.... Now, he will eat just about anything that we put in front of him! Also, Trey's clothing choices have changed as well. At first, Trey wouldn't wear jeans at all. Now, he loves them! He also is much more tolerant of several outfits that he wouldn't even consider when we first came home.

It's hard to fathom all of the changes that have happened in a relatively short time. Trey has really fit in perfectly with our family. Trey cracks jokes all the time (he's really witty!). He also hugs tighter and kisses us more often than he ever did before. He's really bonding with us well and it all feels perfect. We feel so blessed to have this little guy in our life. He truly is a gift from God.
