Hey everyone....I have been gone for - awhile...I moved

alice&arik wrote: Me and Arik moved to Branson, Missouri. I met someone really nice and decided to go for it. Things are going good and we are happy. Arik is doing good, he doesn't miss the cold weather at all. He thinks it is great to get outside in a T-shirt. I love it. I hate the winter anyway, getting bundled up and everything. He is getting big. Every time I pick him up I think he is getting heavier. He got his first big boy haircut with the clippers, my boyfriend did it and it looks pretty good. Arik says alot of new words like ...thanks, yes, yeah, wow, no(and mean it), hi....he says a lot more, but I can't think of them, he is starting to repeat everything he hears, in his own way but i can understand it. Yeasterday in the car I swore he said " oh sh**" I had to laugh though, it was funny.

I have no idea how to break him of his new favorite thing, he pushes the computer chair around the house and stands on it to get to the light switches and turns them off and on. It is the most annoying thing, i have tried putting the chair in a room and shutting the door, and it comes out eventually, and if I take it away he screams bloody murder. He is obssesed with the switches and any electrical cords, everyone assumes he is going to be an electrician.

Any advice for this little game would be nice, thanks.

It is nice to read the posts, I feel so out of my world, no friends down here and no one to talk to, I call my friends back home, but it isn't the same. oh well it will get better.

DansMom replied: Hey, I had a great time in Branson when I went there with my grandmother. It sounds like Arik is getting into a lot of things!!! I have no advice, but just watch him like a hawk

Julie (jem0622) replied: Wow, you moved to a hot spot for country entertainment. Yee haw! It will take some time to adjust to the new area, but I'm sure things will go fine. Glad Arik is doing well! Hope your SO is a keeper!

Maybe you should look into a playgroup? Then Arik would have playmates and you could chat it up with Moms in the area?
