It was Carina’s first time in flight. She did pretty good. She fussed a bit but everything was managable. Dallas is a lot warmer than Vancouver. It was like our summer vocation. We were all in shorts. We went to Dallas zoo. Colton loves all the animals. He reconized elephant, lion, monkey, penguin, turtle, horse, fish, sheep, bird…….
Derek’s house is very nice and spacious. There are 4 rooms. Colton was sleeping in one room all by himself. He did very well. Chris and I and Carina were staying in Derek’s master bed room which is pretty far away from Colton’s room. One morning he was awake and he walked down the hall and looked for me. He was walking, calling me and crying at the same time. I think that was cute. Carina was sleeping in a playpen that we brought. She did very well too.
I’m teaching him shapes and color. Chris and I use the playstation dancing mat to teach him shapes. Now he knows X, O, triangle and square. I’m still working on colors. He knows he has a pair of new “blue” runners. He calls them “blue shoes”. But if you have something blue and ask him what the color is, he would say yellow. He knows my sleeping blanket is pink and Chris’ is blue. So he points at my blanket and say pink, and points at Chris’ and say blue. But every time I ask him the color of something else, he would say “yellow”.
