How’s the Little Man? November 20, 2009
I know several people have asked how Adam is doing. He’s great.
I am finding it absolutely amazing to watch him learn and grow. He surprises me all the time. A couple of weeks ago we learned that he knows his numbers 1-10 in Spanish. It’s not something we sat down and practiced. He just picked it up.
He does stuff like that a lot. Tonight he counted backwards from 10 (in English). Who knew. His brain is just a sponge.
Adam loves to explore. He loves to figure out how stuff works. I call him my little engineer. He does stuff like taking apart the vacuum cleaner and then putting it back together. His brain is so cool.
It’s been fun to watch his personality develop. When we started going to music classes a year and a half ago, he was the shy toddler who preferred to sit away from the group. Now he’s the one who gives all of the kids in class “sneak attack” hugs. He really is a total sweetheart.
He love animals, too. He loves his two kitties, and he loves seeing the neighborhood dogs out for walks. “Puppies!” He’ll pet anything that lets him.
He has limitless energy and wears me out on a daily basis. I swear, just attempting to go on a shopping trip is a challenge. “Adam, please close the door to the freezer case.” “Adam please put that down and come this way.” If there’s a knob, he needs to turn it. If there’s a door, he needs to open it. It’s good, though. I mean, aside from the frustration of not being able to buy more than five things at a time.
Things have calmed down on the medical front which is always good. The fluid in his ears is gone, so no more talk of tubes and no more visits to the ENT unless he develops a separate problem. He finished with speech therapy many months ago, and has caught up tremendously. He has a wonderful vocabulary now, speaks in sentences, and all that good stuff.
The food stuff is still an issue, but his diet has continued to expand and he is growing like an absolute weed. The kid is tall, something he does not get from me. He’s still on Neocate Jr. to make sure he’s got all nutritional bases covered, and I think we’re all fine with that at this point.
So yeah, he’s good. Every single day Adam will just come up to me out of the blue and say “Hi Mama” and give me the biggest hug ever. It doesn’t get better than that.
