Update

Jake started preschool this week. He is attending for 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hours each time. The teachers said that he did very well. Many people comment on his fine motor skills. Here is a picture of him writing, which he likes to do; especially on his Ababa's school papers.

Here are a few wonderful surprises about Jacob that we've discovered in our 4 weeks together.

• He does really well at restaurants and will eat nearly anything. Ethiopian food is his favorite and he uses injera correctly.



• When he writes, he is able to keep his work between very small lines on the paper.



• He loves to sing! He mixes English and Amharic words in his songs.



• We have learned Amharic words from him such as Woosha for dog.



• He is 90% potty trained. :)



• His facial expressions say it all!!! And his giggle is contagious!
