Straws

 So, for those who don't know, kids w/ cleft palates cannot suck. No regular bottles, no straws, nothing. However, our boy LOVES to pretend to drink from a straw. I'm not sure the fascination. It's so cute.

I got some super pics of him smiling... all because of our cup from McDonalds! I'd say he loves McDonalds, but he wouldn't eat anything. He's a snacker. Hmm... something to work on...

Loving this boy. He gets really solemn when we're out in public, but in smaller, more personal surroundings he comes out of his shell.... boy, he is a boy! Very curious, trying to organize things in the room. Very age appropriate behaviors. He is very smart. We are two lucky parents!

Tomorrow we leave for our last city: Guangzhou. It's in the south. The weather will be in the 60's... so excited to not wear our huge jackets for a little while. Will be there until next Sat, the 29th when we FINALLY get to leave for home. Hoorah!

Thanks again to my sister, Beth for her posting my pictures. You are a super lady!

My son had cleft lip and pallet. It took my son several months before he could drink out of a straw but was great with a regular cup.
