Snow and Gingerbread Men

I don't think Teddy has every played in the snow before. I had to force him to hold it in his hand! But he has taken right to it. He's great about bundling up to go out and play and I think he is loving wearing his snow boots. Then after playing in the snow what else can you do but have hot chocolate. It's so fun to watch Teddy follow along with family traditions with a smile always on his face. Then that night Gingerbread Man! Some years we do house and others Men. This year it was Men. And so much sugar! Teddy would have covered his man head to toe in candy it we let him. The only thing that was missing was Sannie.

Teddy update: This week he started ESL sessions. He will have them 2-3 times a week. We are having a hard time with him wanting to show off to any adult. I asked his teacher not to hug/touch/rub him. She wast so good at that Ill need to remind her. He is using only English now even though we encourage him to still speak Chinese. At school I had to let his ESL teacher know that she needs to tell him what they are going to do not ask him if he wants to do something. His response to doing work is "no thank you". He will act bored or tired if he is asked to do work. Then he needs a drink, use the bathroom or has some kind of boo boo. HMMMMM. But he is still doing well adjusting to living in a family and having more girls then boys around.
