Jonathan Day 46

I'll start with some good news.  I heard from my attorney today and there are several things happening that sound promising.  I will be obtaining legal/full guardianship (currently have standby guardianship) in the next week or so.  Then in early October the adoption process can start.

The morning started great and Jonathan and Da Da took their 4 mile walk around town while Daddy worked.  After they got home we did a few minutes of play outside and then Da Da took Jonathan to the park.  Apparently it was a very good visit.  When it was time to leave Da Da asked Jonathan if he knew what time it was and he said "time to leave?" and with no effort at all they left and came home for lunch.

After a nap we all went outside while Da Da planted the acorns that they picked up at the park JH pulled his wagon around the yard.  He hit one of the yard lights with the wagon and I told him to not do that since he might break the light.  He did another round around the yard and looked at me right in the eye and ran over the light.  It fell apart and he did his surprised look with a HHHHHHHuuu.  The same way he does when he tosses his shoes or toys over his baby gate and makes his surprised look and sound.  I asked him to say sorry to Da Da for breaking his light and he just looked down and folded his arms.  I asked again and he said "NO", so I asked him to say sorry or we would go in the house.  He is one stubborn little boy!!  We went in the house and stupidly I put him in his room where he immediately started playing with his toys.  After a few minutes I went in and asked him if he was sorry for breaking Da Da's light and he nodded.  I asked if he could say sorry to Da Da and he said "sorry Da Da" and then held his arms up and said "outside".

Da Da is now negotiating dinner with him and the grilled cheese with turkey seemed to be a hit.  Next are peas and carrots and as far as I can tell there is only one more bite left and he's done.  Normally we all have meals together but Daddy and Da Da opted to have a curry later with a glass of wine.  When I make a Thai curry the air is so spicy we all cough.

JH is just finishing his pudding and Da Da is over there laughing and snapping photos of his little chocolate mustache.  I'll post a pic tomorrow.  The picture tonight is of JH pulling his wagon around the yard.
