He loves music! We play children's music (mostly Korean) almost all day and I'll frequently catch him "dancing", which consists of smiling and swaying from side to side.
He is a dainty little eater. When a little piece of food doesn't make it in his mouth, he uses his fist to push it in.
Speaking of food--he loves it and has a huge appetite. A normal breakfast for him is two scrambled eggs, a piece of fruit, and a container of yogurt. I made him some seaweed soup and he inhaled that. He pretty much loves anything with rice and seaweed, although he also loved his Cu!ver's chicken fingers and fries. :)
When we pick him up, he pats us on the back. LOVE this!
He loves dogs and won't leave our golden retriever alone. We're working very hard on teaching him how to be gentle.
He loves water, just like big brother. The two of them could splash and play in the tub all day! He also loves the sink faucets and tries to climb on the sink to turn them on. I have happy visions of the pool next summer with these two!
He really enjoys putting things away (not always where they belong!) and putting lids on things like water bottles. He also likes to fill containers up and then dump them out.
Along with learning about him, we are also learning how to live as a family of four. We've had our ups and downs and the past week has certainly brought challenges for all of us. We're trying to focus on the positive and do our best. Thankfully, we've got some very supportive family and friends that are helping us through. His foster family has been in our thoughts frequently, and we are praying that they find peace and know that Taeho is doing well.
