We have been here for just over 2 weeks and time has flown by. The weather has been spectacular and our first day of forecasted rain turned out to simply be an overcast one. Patrick is like a kid in a candy store. When we first arrived he went into the house and promptly ran out exclaiming "Mommy, they have drums!". Aside from the drums, and the piano and the microphone he has become an avid swimmer, has played some baseball-tennis (how to teach a child who likes to bat, not to bat the tennis ball with the racket?), is trying to play ping pong despite being too short for the table, enjoys fishing (with a cute kid size fishing rod with which he catches "buoy fish") and frequently asks to go on boat rides. The best quotes so far by Patrick are: "goal in one" - when a goal was scored with the soccer ball, the sign of a true golfer! "I will swim in the deep water" - when making a wish before blowing out Grampa's candles "We are adorable, get the camera to take a picture" - said to Rebecca when he cuddled with Alexander Alexander is changing too. He now loves to chirp a lot while laying on his back. He also can grasp his toys. He especially seems to enjoy looking at his image in the mirror. I wonder if he is thinking "what a handsome devil" or "hey, a friend for me to play with".
