Day 747

I feel like I am finally getting the hang of things. I have adjusted to the new normal. So here I am! Back! Trying to blog so that you can read this in the future Titus. I thought it would be easier than to have you leaf through my journals when you are older.


You are growing up so fast Titus. I put on a dress this morning for church and you came to me and told me "umma lee puh" (Mom pretty). I melted.

We hung out at Americana after your nap while your dad went to "shoot" (play basketball). You finally have warmed up to wearing a hat! You wore it all afternoon and held onto your new "dusty" (airplane) that Grandma Park gave you for your birthday. We took a ride on the trolley and were so excited. You sat at the edge of the bench so that you could let your feel dangle. As the trolley started moving, you laid one hand on my knee for security.

You are already quite the back seat driver. On the way out of the parking lot, you yelled "Umma chun chun lee gah!" (Mom go slow!) all the way from the 6th floor to the exit.

You are trying to learn your colors and how to count these days.
You always ask for permission to do anything you know might not be okay or if we have said no in the past (i.e. sucking on your thumb, jumping off the couch, running)

I started telling you yesterday that you will be getting on a real "dusty" soon. Tonight you fell asleep holding up your five little fingers repeating to me that you will be on a "dusty" after 5 days of school. You're getting on an airplane for the 3rd time in your life to go to Chicago on Saturday. Then we are driving back home on a RV via Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone with all the Park family.

Your dad and I sit and just marvel at you a lot these days. You are curious, talkative, opinionated, goofy, yet serious. We love to see what catches your attention. You stop everything you're doing to watch certain commercials on TV. You notice the sound of any air craft or a loud car that passes by.
On the way to and from school you point out "cha chang myun" "market" "french fries" "toyota" "orange bus" "tire" "ice cream".

Your dad thinks it's all about timing.. Finally. You slept in your own bed in your own room for the first time last night and did not wake up in the middle of the night. Your parents had no idea what to do with themselves. I am crossing my fingers that tonight will be a repeat of last night!
