Thomas loves goldfish crackers, bananas, candy (not chocolate), and chicken sausage. I have learned to avoid messy foods and foods that stain because I only have two bibs and only a few outfits. Chewed up and spit up crayons stain carpet. M&Ms also stain the carpet.
After a good giggle, I finally got a good look at his palate and he does have a fistula into his sinus cavity. When the orphanage ladies said "all fixed", that wasn't exactly true. Surgery is in the future.
Diaper changes have turned into a game of get away. Not so great when the diaper is poop. Shower time is improving. No crying today and just a little resistance but necessary to avoid poop all over the hotel room. Potty training is in the future.
Thomas learned about NO after playing with the electrical outlet. 5 star living isn't all fun and games.
I have learned to feed him before we go out to dinner or to have a snack for the restaurant to avoid tantrums and over-eating. Also, so I can eat my dinner and not spend the whole time feeding Thomas.
Thomas loves shoes; his shoes, Grama's shoes, my shoes.
I've learned to ignore staring people on the street and in the restaurants."Why does a white woman have a boy with a Chinese face?" a man asked at Chan's temple. He was polite and Helen answered his questions but others give nasty looks. Luckily it's just a few and not the majority of people.
