Well for a 21 month old, Evan has had lots of firsts in the past couple of days. First bath, first time brushing his teeth, first sippy cup, and first chocolate milk just to name a few. We attempted the first bath Friday night. We have been using his blow up tub that we took as a toy box. He was very unhappy about his toys being on the floor. A trait from the baby home that he has learned is to always clean up his mess when he finishes with his toys he always puts them away. Bath time began with a small amount of water and toys which was lots of fun until we put him in it. We cried but not as much as we expected. Last night we did the same thing when we finally put him in it he began pitching a fit, which he does well I might add. He kicks his feet and hits his hands when he gets really mad. When do we teach him that this behavior is not appropriate? HA HA Anyway, while pitting his little fit he splashed Mama with the water. He thought that was pretty funny. He had a ball!!! Bathtime was so much fun! He was even washing his hair and pouring water over his head. We kept pouring warm water in but about 40 minutes later he was starting to shiver so we took him out. When we took him out we saw the biggest fit that he has ever thrown. He did not want to get out of the bath tub, he had a ball!
Brushing his teeth is another unpleasant moment every night. This I think we are going to skip for a while until he sees up do it more.
Evan has also mastered the art of the sippy cup and finds it strange that he can have something to drink anytime he wants.
We gave him chocolate milk for dinner last night and he did not like it very much. He took about 3 sips but boy did it wire him! He was a wild child for sure! It was so funny!
He loves outside! When we come to the internet cafe one of us has to stay outside with him because he cries when we come inside. The people working in here don't take well to a crying baby.
One of his favorite things to do is to look out the window at the cars with his Papa. He holds up his arms to Papa and points to the window. The sweetest sound to hear him say Papa and Mama, we just love it!
Will come back this afternoon and write more.

I thought of you today when I was playing my new Celine Deon CD. I know its wonderful to be holding your beautiful baby boy and sharing all these wonderful firsts together! You are in my thoughts daily!
Oh how wonderful it is to hear of all of your firsts! I am so happy for all of you! I know that Papa and Mama are the sweetest words in the world. I will be praying about your meetings and court date. I have it marked on every calendar.
