We celebrated Drew' s first birthday and Tol on 11-9. A Tol is a celebration for the babies once they reach the age of one. A long time ago babies did not make it to one so it was cause for a great celebration when they did. They get dressed in a traditional outfit (a hangbok) and their fathers walk them around a Tol Table where they select items that will dictate what they will be in life. For instance, scissors mean that he will be good with his hands and a spool of thread means he will have a long life. He did pick these items as well as a race car. That boy loves his cars!
Drew grows more and more each day and we love him so very much. What did we do before we loved him? He is the best decision we ever made.
He is still having separation anxiety panic attacks. So much so that day care is now not an option. I had to quit my job so I am now a stay at home mom. It's the best! I love taking him for walks and to feed the ducks. He cracks me up!
We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. Drew basked in all the attention and ate really well. It was a great day...except for the turkey. Laurie and I hated the turkey...we prefer ours cooked!
