Well, I have had so many "I have got to post this" moments in the last 5 days, I really need a blackberry just to keep the world updated on our cute kid.. cuz, i know you, are are all sitting on the edge of your seats wating.. when will she post next? what will the pictures be? so, for lighter humor and adventures of Little Man, we'll start with how his mom's job will forever follow this poor kid into the future..
And so, most of you know, I AM an occupational therapist... and, since for years that means me needing to say "no, i do NOT help children find jobs" and then follow that with an explanation about what I do for a living... well, let's be honest. For LM, of course we need to help him with some vocational advise and help him find a career that will help him earn his keep... We keep telling him, "Hey there, what's your dream? Everyone's gotta have a dream"... and "I am going to give you some good vocational advice here"... (ps: if anyone guesses what movie these lines are from, you win a prize -- and if my college gal's don't guess it, you girls need to roll back the memories a few pages and try not to think so hard! LOL)... so, here are some shots of our adventures in vocational exploration with LM...
Luggage Handler
"Fluff and Fold" Guy
Bussing Tables at Che Cathedral (Our awesome apartment in Moscow was called "The Cathedral")
Infamous Index Finger Sucker
Large Construction Vehicle Driver -- Uncle Kevin can show him the ropes when he gets home!
Sunglasses Model
Cow Lactation Specialist
OK, "Milker".. whatever. Geez, can't I try to get technical? LOL
As none of the jobs panned out in Moscow, we've kept on the endeavor here at home....

The Best Iron Gym Technician in Town!
Remember your history?? and the guys who tasted the King's food before he ate? How about this job: Dog Food TasterAll joking aside, frankly, I think this little man will be able to do whatever he wants in life -- he has what it takes and the qualities we have seen just glow from him in Russia and at home, and which we admire deeply, would make any manager happy: focused, problem solver, resilient, good attitude, enjoys being around others, persistant (OK, a bit OCD, but what manager doesn't like that?), a good communicator, and smart smart smart.... This Little Man is amazing...
And time flies.. We are soaking in every moment -- every giggle, every smile, every newly learned skill, every hug, every everything... Because we know time flies... And every moment with him is beyond cherished...
And soon enough, it will be time for him to start really be thinking about a job...

Pretty Woman! Am I right? Am I first? What do I win? ;)
Pretty Woman...and not just b/c Kristy said it first. It's one of my favorite movies.
About LM, though...oh my word - he is beyond cute. Look at him so interested in many things. I love it.

I love his fascination with everything and I know Kev will think the truck pic is very cool, he probably will want to find that toy for our yard!!
He truly is gorgeous and amazing, look forward to watching him grow up!!
As the "Gamma", I have had the supreme pleasure of spending some time with these wonderful parents (I'm prejudice) and Aslan over the last week and one day and I am amazed at them and him. Amy & Jeff are doing a fabulous job and Aslan is clearly smart, happy, flexible, and the cutest ever. In his current "job" of making his mom and dad happy he is doing a super job. He met his cousins, Katie (whom he resembles) and Jack on Sunday and plays nicely. He has come so far in such a short amount of time; even seems to understand lots of English words. He is now Ashton's pal (such a good doggy)and we are looking forward to many family gatherings with our new LM. Thanks Amy and Jeff for bringing him to us.
Much Love, M
Well, I am a day late and a dollar short with the Pretty Woman answer. Although in my book it's a gimmee, kinda like "No one puts Baby in the corner." However, I digress. As I type, I am counting down the minutes to my first meeting with LM and can't wait. He and his fabulous parents are meeting me for lunch. YIPPEE!!
Love the pictures, but meeting him in person is going to be even better.
Love ya!!
Just got back from a fabulous lunch with Aslan, Amy and Jeff. What a wonderful afternoon to sit outside and enjoy a such a handsome little boy. The joy on Jeff and Amy's faces is enough to even get me sappy (Aunt Debbie- that's for you). Aslan is truly an amazing little boy and I can't wait to see him again on Sunday.
Amy, Jeff and Aslan I am so truly over the moon right now for the three of you (OK and you too Ashton). I am sitting at my desk with perma-grin. Thanks for the great afternoon.
Love- Aunt Becca
Actually, Amy K., we DO look forward to each & every post! Your son is precious & seems so much his own little person, investigating everything, including the dogfood. Reminded us of Justin eating dog & cat food that we had out in years gone by. Oh well, we bought good pet food for our furry friends so he's fine. I LOVE how you & Jeff are enjoying each & every "new" thing LM learns & are seeing the world through his gorgeous eyes. Isn't it a dream come true? What a blessing for all 4 of you, & that includes Ashton. Love, Aunt Norine
dog food taster...maybe he and Leeza could be co-workers. :)
Hilarious post...and I love hearing you speak of him. you're so cute. :)
