January 16, 2018 - Mahahual, Mexico (3 years 6 months)

Morning walk along the beach.  He would comment on every boat, especially if it had two outboard motors instead of just one.
He would run out to a pier by himself sometimes, so I made him wear his life jacket!
Kadin is really into learning his letters right now – especially O, K, J, and S – and was practicing in the sand.  I love that sometimes he calls me "Jota", which is the letter J in Spanish.
Kadin met two twins, Sebastian and Tristan, at our campsite beach and LOVED playing with them for hours.  We even hopped on their golf cart for a final ride before they got back onto their cruise ship and left.  As they left, he cried and every time he saw a cruise ship he mentioned them.  I realized it's kind of hard on him to meet kids for just a quick playday and then never see them again and it renewed my quest to find a more permanent community to go to every year.
More cool discoveries… I think he's asking me what made all the holes in the sand.  I believe it's little clams in there.
Later on, we met up with a few more kids and they all started collecting these teensy clams.  Kadin was proud to show the girl how many he'd found.

November 16 - 30, 2017 - 3 years 4 months





Kadito writes his name!!!! Who knew the letter "K" looks so much like a horse…
Foster kitties: Mama Trinity and Tony and Prima Gatito (Kadin named the two kittens) 
Hocky stick or weapon?  Need to keep the stick out of his reach except on the hockey rink or it's not a pretty site… 
No skates but on the ice with a hockey stick and puck = FUN! 

No skates but on the ice with a hockey stick and puck = FALLING! 
 
No hockey gear, no ice but in his ice skates with packed snow = FUN! 
 
Looks like I didn't take any pictures of Thanksgiving… it was a mellow dinner at Heather Krompacky's place with lots of yummy food and Kadin liked hanging with the boys as well as visiting Miss Nugget, the happily recovered kitty.
