Rock On Silas!

// February 19th, 2009 // Loux Family News


Silas passed out in his shark tent!

One of our little guys that we recently adopted from Ukraine named Silas, loves to rock, his body that is :) . The problem is this. When he rocks, his head bangs against anything that’s behind him. This doesn’t seem to phase him a bit! I think God must have designed him with an extra hard head. I’m always running around repositioning him so he doesn’t hurt himself.

Our daughter, Michaela bought the boys a shark tent with money she had saved to buy them a present. Silas absolutely loves this tent. When he’s inside it, guess what he does? He rocks of course! The cool thing about him rockin in the tent is that he doesn’t hurt his head. In fact his rocking makes it looks like his shark tent is swimming. It’s a pretty funny sight to see the tail of the shark swaying back and forth! He actually rocks himself to sleep at naptime sometimes, as you see in one of the pics above!

There is never a dull moment around here! I love it!

    Yah, Michaela is pretty awesome isn’t she? She saved and saved all her allowance to buy them presents. It was so sweet to see her doing extra chores to earn money!

    They look beautiful! Congratulations for your beautiful daughter, she’s an amazing sister! I don’t know many girls who would spend her money on presents to his little brothers. There’s no doubt she’s got a great heart.God bless all of you

    Renae, I love the tent thing. It is hard for those kids with the rockin coping skill sets. It soothes them, but makes you anxious about injury. It will be interesting to watch as he grows and feels loved and his needs met, to see if the rocking lightens up a bit. It is a coping skill kids develope from neglect or trauma. (plus down’s kids do that) They are so beautiful!!!!!
