Fireflies, muffins and music

Well it's been a busy couple of weeks at the Whartenby house. It has now been over two months since Eyob came home and he is doing great. He is bonding well with Mommy and Daddy and is beginning to get along with the other kids. He still wants everything done Eyob's way but he tantrums much less and responds to discipline. Last week was a big week for Eyob. He went to VBS at our church. He loved it and he listened fairly well, too. He especially loved the music and asks to to play the CD in the car everywhere we go. We also have a DVD with the motions which he loves to watch and follow along. He has the cutest voice when he sings. He's also had some other new "American" experiences. This past weekend I made muffins with Ella, Isabella and Eyob. He enjoyed the baking but not eating the muffins. (He can still be a very picky eater). Eyob also caught fireflies for the first time. He had so much fun but I don't think any fireflies survived Eyob's grasp. He certainly needs to learn to be more gentle. Patrick with the loot
