Happy Family Day, Isaac!!!
We've been a family for SIX MONTHS!
I did NOT like those days AT ALL. I had the snots & the sniffles for a couple of days like my friends at Kollege, then all of a sudden, when we were at the grocery store, I did not feel very good at all. Momma tried to make me feel better at home, but then I felt so bad I didn't want to drink or even eat purple jello. Momma said that wasn't OK and took me to see her doctor friends at the kids hospital. By the time we got there I wasn't breathing very good. Then it took six tries to put a tube in my arm, and I had a glowing band aid on my toe, and a bag to catch my pee, and drops in my ears, and tubes up my nose, pokes on my fingertips, and THEN they kept taking my temperature under my diaper! It was a really BAD day! I was super mad at first, but then I was too tired from breathing to even be mad anymore so I laid on Momma chest for a lot of days until it was easier to breathe. Gramma came every day to bring Momma food which was nice, but mostly I just wanted to hold on to Momma and go back to my house.
Are you feeling better now?
MUCH better. I can breathe without any tubes up my nose and I don't have to take any medicine and my snots & sniffles are all gone too! Momma still pats me hard on the back to make sure all the gunk gets out, but I like that...especially when I can't sleep at night. AND, no one is checking my temperature ANY MORE. I like that part the best. My teachers at Kollege say I'm a new kid; they've never seen one boy eat or walk so much! I say, you try not eating or walking for 11 days and see how badly you want to eat and walk!! Besides, I've got some growing to do!
What are some things you are doing now that you weren't doing last month?
Well, I can walk REALLY good now and I don't even have to hold my hands over my head anymore. After dinnertime, I chase Momma around the house and see if I can get her! We both think that is really funny. I can also say 'bye-bye' and 'up' with my words. I said 'momma' a couple of times, but mostly if I want her, I just point & chase after her. I can also eat like a big boy and hold my sippy cup all by my self. I those things I couldn't do when Momma first came to get me, so it's exciting.

What did you do for your Momma's first Chinese New Year?
We were going to have a special party with my cousins, so we could all wear our Chinese outfits, but we decided just to stay home and get better. But Momma & I talk about China a lot and we read books about China and how much we love our Chinese family. Next year we'll be able to do some fun things and maybe even go see a dragon parade!

Are you eating anything new & special?
I still love me some Pirates Booty. That stuff is the BEST. When I ask for my special treat, I keep asking until I get THREE pieces: one for each hand and one for my mouth!

What fun things are you going to do in the next month?
Momma says we are getting on a plane again...but not as long as last time. This time I get to see my Auntie Ange, Uncle Scott and my cousins in the snow (whatever that is). She said, one Elmo and a nap and we'll already be there. No oceans. No dinners AND breakfasts. And no movies. That is short!

We can't wait to see you, Isaac and celebrate six months of being part of your Forever Family!!! Enjoy your Elmo and your nap and I'll be waiting for you when you arrive in the snow! Love you! Auntie Ang :)
