Dadya






Dadya is what Sam calls me, sounds Russian to us and its pronounced dad-ja. Sam is making big strides everyday and he will get some more help this week when he starts speech therapy. We found a great program here in Norfolk in which counselors will come to the house and help Sam in any area he is developing slowly in. For Sam it is his speech. On Tuesday two teachers are coming to the house and we are pretty excited about how its going to go. We are also transitioning from our nanny Laura to a full time Pre-school for him. He is going to spend the next two weeks with Aunt Courtney, who Sam calls Co-Co. Anyway, Courtney has a boot camp for potty training and Sam is packing his bags for camp.

Today we had a house full of people over to watch football. All the usual kids were over and had naps, cookies, movies, more naps and finally KFC for dinner. It was a busy day and he went right to bed. Lately just after we put him to bed, which is super easy, he will sing or talk, usually saying the names of everyone he knows. It is cute to sit downstairs and listen to him chatter. I am posting pictures of Sam at the pumpkin patch last weekend. Maggie ate one of his small pumpkins.....
