Rey is doing well and is growing like a weed. He is healthy one and eats like one too. There's no magic to raising children, let alone just one child. Our little tykster is strutting around with braces now. It is a getting use to thing for him, and he isn't a big fan of it.
You would think raising one child would be easy, but in reality it isn't. They are spoiled and have the only child syndrome and may become selfish quickly and jealous very easily. Have to watch those constantly as well as insecurity, the constant need for attention. Rey has been a monger in these areas and had to talk with him about these situations. He seems to understand but he won't remember to be reassured that all is well and we love him, we have to remind him he needs to have self control. Better yet, I think this is just a phase he's going through.
He has been recreationally playing football more with us, and he seems to know a whole lot about football, I thought it was a break for change of sport. Nope, I was wrong he is still going headstrong with Taekwondo. He is a Poom Belt now, which is Jr. Black Belt, and he has been in three different tournament (Denver, CO., Parker, CO., El Paso, TX.) competing as a Black Belt. He brought home Gold Medals from each one, he certainly proves himself as a Black Belt. He'll be going to Phoenix, AZ., next weekend.
We have been notified that his Kukkiwon Certificate was in the office and we are just waiting for the Promotions to occur and Rey would be getting his Black Belt. We saw and we were tickled crazy, in reality he has been a Black Belt since September 5th, 2012.
School, we had a meeting after one day I seen Rey's school work. His class is still coloring Big Teddy Bears. I was devastated. We asked the teacher what was going on, and said they had to set the standards low so all the kids are on the same page. That was it, I brought Rey home and had to reevaluate him and he forgot how to do fractions, 3 or more digit substaction/addition, multiplications, cursive, his writing was sloppy. I am back to homeschooling him and there is no way I will have him go back to Public Schools again, not in this state. I had him doing everything and he was doing great, now he doesn't remember and with some attitude problems to boot with it. I should of noticed with he was starting to be argumentive about asking to do things like do his chores or turning the tv off.
His lawyer said we should be having a final hearing on the adoption sometime in November. I wish they would hurry up with it, it's been a nerve wrecking event. Still nothing on the parents.
That's his Kukkiwon ID, and we're going to put that on the cake for his Black Belt Party. We're so proud of him. I wish we could have had his baptizm this last summer.
