A New Word

Nathan has learned a new word. It is "Hey". I noticed him walking around saying it the other day and wondered where it came from. Then I caught myself telling him "Hey...put that back." I realized that I say it all the time.

So now Nathan is saying it all the time in the same reproving tone. He tells me "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" when I am not paying attention to him.



Then when I turn and tell him to stop making fun of Mommy he bursts into laughter like he is glad I got the joke.



Then I get the seriously-wasn't-that-supposed-to-work? look.


So today he reproved all of his toys with "Hey" and all three of the dogs got a good talking to. Even a cat that passed by was soundly "Heyed". Nathan looks at me out of the corner of his eye to see if I'm watching. When I finally say, "Hey, stop mocking Mommy" he laughs like it is the funniest thing. Ron is really enjoying this.

I can't believe its only 6 months since Nathan came home. I feel like there always was a Nathan. I am sure you can't even remember a time without him anymore. Look at much he has grown. He has gotten more handsome everyday. You can see the changes in his face now of content and comfort and as all adoptive parents know, that is the best face of all. He knows he is now with his family now.
