What a tough day at school!! Mati came back from school on Monday clearly exhausted - too much playing in the sand, running around and playing with cars ... who wouldn't be tired??? My little angel fell asleep on the couch while he was playing with his cars and I was preparing lunch. When I woke him up, he was even drooling!
The behavior balance has shifted for Mati. He's more obedient (although he screams a lot when he's upset), more gentle with his brother, hasn't been getting into any trouble at school and is super polite with everyone he sees. He has also been very affectionate with us, thanking us for bringing him here and telling us he loves us and that he's going to give us a heart (awwwww!!!)
Mati had been suffering from massive stomach aches and "accidents" here and there. His pediatrician requested lab work done on his stool and after four weeks of trying to get even one little piece, we succeeded and the results came back showing that nothing was wrong!! (Parenting tip: DON'T tell your potty trained child you need a stool sample and that is why you are putting a bag over the toilet or why he needs to poop again in his little toilet. [Mati got stage fright and just refused to poop!!] Just put on a glove and when you hear the pushing, rush in and with your best baseball skills, catch one!!) However, I've noticed that his stomach has a hard time digesting food high in fat, like chocolate cakes! But his tummy has gotten better and he's been eating up a storm these days which always makes me extremely happy.
We're two days away from going to Santa Marta and Mati is very excited!! He's counting down the days in his calendar and said to me this morning that he loves hotels!
