Three weeks...

Tonight at around 8:15 it will be three weeks since Max came home to his forever family. In some ways it feels as though he's always been in my/our lives and in others it all feels brand new. I think the not feeling so new part is because this little boy is truly an old soul (from Seoul!). I can't explain it with words but when I look into his eyes I just know that he knows so much more than I do and that he's here to teach me and others. In just the short time that he's physically been home he has really brought out the best in David and me. We're better people because of Max.

This little miracle of a boy continues to bring a million smiles to faces of our friends and family. My friend Erin is particularly smitten as is Max with her. Yesterday the three of us had a great time in the Macy's shoe department. Always looking for a teachable moment, Erin taught Max about the variety of materials used to make women's shoes such as patent-leather.

On Tuesday Max and Mommy went to their first class at "The Little Gym" and had a fun time. We met other nice mommies and are looking forward to our weekly class. Music class starts next week!!

I think that Max has a natural propensity towards music because he really is soothed by it or inspired. By inspired I mean that he get so happy when he hears music and busts out one of his three dance moves and a lot of giggles.

His babbling continues to make us laugh. His "MamaMamaMama" is quite impressive and is now interspersed with "Dada." His seemingly favorite sound to make is the growl that he learned from the dog.

Uh oh... someone's crying.... thanks for checking in, more soon! Peace ~ Robyn
