As you can see my ability to blog has been severely impacted by three little energetic, curious boys. I cannot believe it has already been a month since they came home. So much has happened in just 4 short weeks. Here are a few bullet points from our first month together.

They survived their second visit to the doctors and their first set of shots. They screamed during the shots and every once in a while one will ask me if we are going for a “pekee” which is shot in Creole. Not looking forward to the next few visits but at least they don’t seem to be holding a grudge.

We made it through our first week without Pappa and Em. Amazingly they seemed to really understand why they were gone and when they were coming home. I was exhausted but proud. By the end of the week we had a pretty good routine down.

They discovered gum, thanks to their Pappa, and ask for it daily!!

Tont Sheri gave them their first fingerpainting with shaving cream experience. The boys had a blast and our table has never been cleaner.

We took the Jeep out of the garage and they LOVE IT!!! We can not wait till they get to ride in it with the top down!

Paul had a business meeting in Rochester so the boys and I rode along. We decided to brave Pizzeria Uno’s for dinner and actually received a comment from the table behind us on how well behaved our children were!!!! Of course they did not witness the major fit in the car just BEFORE Uno’s but who cares right?!

They all love preschool. The twins came home last week talking about Dock, Dock Gooz. (Duck, Duck, Goose:)) They acted it out for me several times , they obviously thought it was a great game.

We have been to just about every major grocery/discount store around town.. They love the market and do very well as long as they are contained! We have NOT braved the mall yet, think we will wait a while on that one. Their favorite thing to ask for is a baby doll. And they want me to purchase EVERY grocery item in threes.

They continue to try almost any food you put in front of them. MacKenzie seems to be the pickiest. Their favorite foods still are spaghetti, meatballs, applesauce, bananas, grapes, edamame, rice, soup and chicken.

Health wise they look great. (of course I am biased) We are still battling parasites as we cannot get them to take the pills. Looking for alternatives. Anyone?

Everyone asks about their english. They each have a few specific words they use in english. They can understand a lot more than they can say. Food words like milk, water, spaghetti, bananas and cereal are used all the time now. Please and thank you, hello, goodbye and see you later are the norm. We can’t forget Binyah, Binyah. The character of their absolute favorite show, Gullah, Gullah Island.

They remember names remarkably well. We are trying to distinguish between their immediate family and other family members and friends. Right now it seems to be one big group to them and they (especially MacKenson) will name off every one he has ever met and say he loves them. It is very cute but the attachment nut in me tells them frequently who their immediate family is. On that note they seem to be getting more and more comfortable and affectionate with us everyday. I know we have a long road ahead of us but for now I really do think they are doing quite well considering all they have been through.

They go to bed well and sleep through until 6:30a 7:00a. This continues to be our saving grace.
