Jonathan Day 21

I fear Jonathan is going to have a thing for Red Heads when he grows-up.  He LOVES his Elmo and it doesn't usually matter if it's Elmo or not when something on TV is Red/Orange he yells ELMO.  Maybe gingers just remind him of his first love :-)  

It will be three weeks tomorrow that we picked Jonathan up from my cousin Sherry's house.  I had no idea what we were getting ourselves in to, and if asked a week after if I had regrets I probably would have said yes.  That lasted for a few days and before I knew it there is happily NO turning back.  He is so part of me now.  We love him so much and I have no doubt he loves us.

Tonight after eating dinner and playing it was approaching 7:00 PM and I said you know what time it is?  He said BEDTIME with a smile.  I picked him up and he was giggling on the way to his room; we laid him down and when leaning down to say goodnight I love you, he reached up with both hands to hold our faces while he kissed us goodnight.

I said in an earlier post that 21 days makes a habit.  I think we have a habit and a secure little boy.  I know this can change, I know he will come-up with new "issues" and tomorrow he may be a crabby little monster.   Today he was amazing and sweet!  In fact, this week has been so good.  I remember a few days last week that Rick and I looked at each other and shook our heads.  The only looks this week were looks of success.
