It is so amazing to me to think that 1 year ago, tomorrow night, we were on a plane, returning from Georgia to OH, our son officially a citizen of the US for a couple of hours. It was sooo very nice to touch down on American soil after being gone for so long. Yet, now, I look back and miss the places and people we met while in Krasnoyarsk. We met many very nice people!
The last few weeks have been developmentally explosive. Elisha had been able to identify the majority of all the letters by sight, but he didn't know them in order. Same as with the numbers. Over the last week he is now counting to 12 in order- to 10 using fingers, and is singing up a storm. All the songs he's been asking me to sing him over the last year have suddenly found an outlet to come out.
Bedtime has morphed into songfest as he sings the ABC song, twinkle twinkle little star, Baa Baa Black Sheep, I love you, and my favorite, Jesus Loves Me. He always pauses in the part where we sing, "we are weak, but He is strong." and inserts, "Stronger than the Mocko Jumbie, right Mommy?" There is something about a toddler voice, warbling on the "Meeeeeeee!!!!" that just gets you!!
Will try to see if I can get some video up of his singing- it is so precious!!
