NO MO Pop up Pirate...

Well... Here is the post about Pop up Pirate... (just for my dear friend Sylvie.) Yes the darn thing startled me yesterday morning. What is it with kid games these days... ;-) The little pirate flies out pretty high too... I'm waiting for the day I not only get startled but I get the pirate in the eye and I will a sporting the pirate patch..lol. At least with Buckaroo there was no chance to injury.. (well actually I guess there is when all the little pieces come flying out. HAHAHA! )

We tried the Dora game last night but he had no real interest in playing it the way it was intended. I was hoping to encourage him to count..lol (ya right!) He just took the little figurines and climbed all the ladders and went down the slides. I let him have fun with it, but I'm sure it was not as fun as the "scare the crap out of mom" games.

Ty and I have been using our imaginations. I am official "supermom" and I save him from his bunk bed..lol. I have bought him a superman cape for his valentine. He wanted to be on TV... so I will hook up the video cam up so we can make a "superman" movie together. He is tooooooo amazing. REALLY!!!

We have been having such GREAT days. I am amazed really at how well things have been!!! It's amazing what I noticed when I was "back" jeeezzz I guess my life and stress got the best of me. I feel so great. I know I seem to keep repeating myself... but I get it. I get my son. I am finally back to such a great place with him. Instead of focusing on "how to fix him" I have been loving him and just letting him know how wonderful and great he is. This time with him alone was what I wanted and needed. Some one on one... just to let him know he is my world, that I appreciate him and that it is so fun and wonderful to be his mommy. He has really opened up and THIS is the boy I once knew. The easy and fun to parent Ty. I'm back to what used to work. I am able to diffuse a would be meltdown before it happens with a little coaxing and PATIENCE!!! I have decided to really let some stuff go. (yes mom, I'm not being so anal..lol)

I know we have a little road a head of us... but my hurt little boy is certainly healing with the constant love and listening his mommy is providing. I am present! What a little blessing I have! Thank goodness as parents we are easily forgiven for not "getting it."

On the adoption front... we are very close to getting her home (within the next few weeks she should be home!!!). I'm just trying to make a plan of action of what we are going to do in terms of getting her home. I am considering having her escorted.. maybe just to Miami and that way I can still use my Air Canada credit, but not be in Haiti. My "travel partner" has had some delays and we are no longer at the same stage... I do have another potential travel partner but she will be going through the US.. I think this could work. I will start making some arrangements and watch everything fall into place soon :-)
