Well, here he is with his new glasses. Jie-Jie had his glasses for less then 15 minutes when this picture was taken. He walked into the house, Baba gave him some chocolate chips (as you can see in his teeth) and took his picture. I think he looks a little older and a little Tweety-Birdish (in a very cute way) with his specs. He left them on all day long and he didn't touch or fuss with them at all. We have adjusted them so that he actually looks out the lenses rather then looking over them.Transition #2:
Jie-Jie came to Mom's Morning Out with Eva and I today. Eva held his hand and made sure he knew where to go. I was proud of the way she looked out for him. He spent the majority of the session time in the room with the other kiddies, only coming to see me near the last 15 minutes of the group. Bravo little man.Transition #3:
Jie-Jie is now sleeping in his own room. We transitioned him for his nap on Sunday and then asked him where he wanted to spend the night that night (beside our bed or in his own room).
He chose his own room and has been sleeping there ever since. For naps we just put him in his room, give him a kiss and he goes to sleep. At night, he still asks for Jean-Pierre to stay with him until he falls asleep (Yes, Jean-Pierre has fallen asleep too, but the idea is that he stays until Jie-Jie falls asleep). Jie-Jie is very definate that he wants Baba in his room. Tonight at supper we told him that Mama would help Jie-Jie 'faire dodo' tonight. Jie-Jie said, 'No, Mama fait dodo.' Jean-Pierre asked him who he wanted to help him sleep tonight and he said straight away, 'Baba fait dodo Jie-Jie. No Mama fait dodo'. You're breaking my heart kid. Mama writes on the blog while Baba fait dodo avec Jie-Jie!

So, all this means that Jie-Jie's initial transition into this next part of his life is pretty much complete. He has flown through everything will little to no effort and continues to be a happy, funny little guy. May he face all future life challenges with the same grace, humour and confidence he has shown over the past month.

Oh my goodness... he is some HANDSOME! What a cutie pie!!! Good for you Jie-Jie... graduating to your own room!
He continues to floor me. And Eva is making great strides adjusting to being a sibling. It's all just so heart warming. I had been going into withdrawal from your family since you hadn't posted in a while. Worth the wait!
