Adjusting to life in the US

Serdar is adjusting to life in the US. He has been to a professional baseball game, a professional football game (pre-season), a birthday party, a pool party, his high school's football games, to name a few activities.

His bedroom tends to be a constant disaster, like a tornado sleeps in there with him every night. We solve the problem by closing his bedroom door - ta da - no unsightly bedroom to look at as we walk down the hall. And 3 times since he has been here, he has woken up at 3 or 4AM and headed to the shower, thinking it's time to get up. He did this last night. He doesn't look at his clock until he is out of the shower and back in his room. UGH!

He has decided that his closed bedroom door is a good place to put sticky notes with little messages. "Do not enter". "Not at home. I will be back soon".  "I get up at 6AM" are a few of the ones on his door now. I added an addendum to the last one, mentioning his 3AM showers.
