Kellin and His Daddy

Did you know that Kellin LOVES his daddy?

Fast asleep

Kellin seems to be doing well attaching to all of us, but he and Daddy have a special bond. Kellin reaches for Daddy anytime he knows he is close by. He even seems to perk up a bit when he hears the back door open and close, thinking (I'm guessing) that maybe Daddy is home! I think if he had his way, he'd have Daddy holding him 24/7!

A couple weeks ago we took the kids to the circus. None of them had ever been to a circus before, so it was a new experience for them.

We weren't sure how Kellin was going to do though. He is often scared of loud noises and still gets anxious in public places sometimes. The circus was LOUD, no doubt about it, but Kellin was so sweet. He just cuddled up in Daddy's lap and sat calmly throughout the whole show. Sometimes he covered his ears, but he didn't fuss or try to get away. He looked so trusting, so completely secure, knowing that Daddy would keep him safe. It was just the sweetest thing, and in terms of attachment - WOW. We have come so far.

Kellin also tried out a preschool music class and Vacation Bible School in July. I attended with him, of course, and Pooh was there too. Groups of kids making lots of noise are still hard for Kellin, but I did see him become more comfortable as he got more used to everything. It's just a few short weeks now until Kellin starts daycare and then preschool, so we will see how he handles these big changes in his life.

Tigger wrote a letter to his idol, Eli Manning, and was thrilled when he received a letter and autograph in response!
