Teagan is walking around a good bit. I am not sure I would call her an official walker yet but she walks most of the time. She does about twelve steps before she falls (usually out of excitement). She is cutting teeth which is making her a bit cranky at night. It is out of character and I feel so bad for her.
Teagan had her first official playdate today. I met Eve and her daughter Adley on China Adopt Talk before we went to China. Adley happens to be from the same province as Teagan. They live only ten miles away! Adley is now ten months and Teagan is thirteen. It was so nice to have them over to visit while Bennett was in school. Teagan was showing her spicy side as she was constantly taking things away from Adley. (mental note: work on sharing even though only model right now is Bennett who takes things from her constantly) It is so nice to have met our new friends and even more special that the girls will grow up knowing each other.
Bennett is loving school. He is doing a great job. He is also working on sharing and taking turns but in a classroom setting with two year olds, that's the norm. He goes three days a week, three hours each day. His early intervention teachers also meet him there at times which is a fabulous thing. On Fridays the entire preschool meets at the bimah (the alter area of the synagogue) to sign songs and hear stories. I guess it was very good that Bennett's EI teacher was there as he needed some focus not to climb the handrail of the steps or knock on the stained glass! Can you say OY VEY! He loves school and we love that. TSTI preschool rocks!
Bennett has a great imagination that is coming out. He is into the Legos (Duplo size) right now as he found they can be made into other things. He loves making houses, forts and caves. The big cushions also get made into trucks and boats. I can't wait until the basement is finally cleaned up from the flooding and that play space is back. He is getting a bit better about Teagan. Slow and steady steps. They bond in the tub and play well there. She left the room today and after a bit he asked where she was. Good question........ (she was fine)
