Being a boy...

I just had to post a little something to say Kai is loving life here in Puerto! I feel like he has grown up even more this past month and is learning new things and becoming more independent (if that is even possible) every day! The best part about our new home is that Kai has easy access to go outside to play and I can be inside and still keep an eye on him. There was lots of construction still going on the first week after we moved in and he was out there all the time talking to the workers (asking Dennis 100 times a day “Dennis, what are you making?”), and playing in the sand pile. He has spend a lot of time in the sandpile and I have spend a lot of time cleaning sand off him;) He is just loving being a little boy and getting dirty!
He has loved helping Tyson with projects, carrying tools and asking questions. They have had some great father and son time. Here they are making some shelves for our closets.
The other things that Kai is doing is using the potty. This has been quite the process for the last 6 months and it is really only my fault. I haven’t pushed it or forced it…He used to insist that he didn’t want to use the potty when I asked and I didn’t force it because I didn’t want it to be a negative thing. Since we have gotten here he has said yes when I ask him and is now telling us a majority of the time when he needs to go and can get up and down from the toilet himself. He still uses diapers but by the end of this month I think we will be diaper free throughout the day…yay! All this potty talk has equaled a lot of naked time….
