good lord, i see that it's been over a month and a half since i posted anything about mikhai. each and every day i am amazed about my little man. he is so smart and advanced. my godmother said that she visited a friend that has a baby a few months older than mikhai and you could barely understand a word that little girl said. mikhai on the other hand has conversations with you. he comprehends so much. a lot of his language skills has to do with the fact that i try to make sure he can enunciate words properly. yes we are in texas and yes there is some texas twang in there still...lol. but he's doing great with language. get this....ms. tee said last week that she is working with him on his handwriting. teaching him to hold the pencil properly and recognize the letters. i can't say this enough, he is so smart. he also has the "mimic" phase down to an art. how is it that they pick up on the words that you don't want them to repeat?!?!?! lol. i guess one drawback to him speaking so well is that there is NO mistaking what he says. especially if it's a word you don't want him to say.

umm, potty training was going amazingly well for a while. then my sister and her family moved out and i put mikhai back in his room. he apparently didn't like that cuz i put him in his room on sunday night and a week later he has peed in his bed or my bed every night but two. i was getting seriously frustrated with him since he was doing so well before. but i have to understand that he probably is not happy with not having me by him if he wakes up. i'm now in another room altogether. i just got him a night-light last night so i'll see if that has any effect on the situation. give him some light in a room that gets VERY dark. so, if i remember that i should update this more than ever other month, i'll let everyone know how that is going.

i have decided that mikhai and i need to move out. i had a very huge misunderstanding with my mother a few weeks ago and she threatened to get on a plane and kick my ass if i yelled at her one more time. first off, i don't yell at my mother. it doesn't do a damm bit of good so i just don't even do it. if anything i get more quiet when there are tensions between us. whatever. i've had enough of being treated like i'm a little kid and would like to get out on my own with my baby boy and try to live as a family together. it's going to be tough, but that's why i'm working three jobs to save enough money to get out of here. we'll see how that goes.

so, that's the latest news in our world. i hope to have more later......
