Personality Plus


We are really enjoying our time here.  We miss our kids at home though.  We are hoping to skype with them again today.  I can't wait.  Our time here with our little guy has been so fun. Some of his personality traits that his caregivers told us about have been fun to see in our playtime together.  Some of the things they mentioned about him were he that is goal-oriented, joyful, funny, happy, and stubborn.  Honestly, we haven't see much of the stubborn yet.  But we are in the great 'honeymoon' phase and we know it.  He really likes building things.  Who would have thought that the markers we brought were the prize toy!!  Not because the color well  but because you can make great towers with them!  

He works very hard to reach a goal.  He will try many different things to get what he wants accomplished.  When we were with his group yesterday he wanted a certain book off the shelf.  He stood on a little chair, pointed and someone would hand him a book.  Well we weren't getting the right book.  He came over to a higher stool and proceeded to carry it over to the bookshelf.  The stool was too high to stand on and we all jumped up to stop him but the point being is that he was going to get the right book.  Even if the rest of us weren't smart enough to figure it out:). 

Here's another example of his determination:




But O What JOY!!when you accomplish the task!!!!
