Well today is the day I have waited 6 years for. I am going to meet my son in person for the first time. We were told we couldn't take hime home because the Director of the orphanage wasn't there. It was just for a visit. Well we went to the orphanage and the waterworks began. I don't think I could even see him my eyes were so welled up. Dave got it all on film but I'm pretty sure he was just as teary eyed. We hugged and it was love at first sight. Then the greatest news ever. They said do you want to take him with you today. Um yah of course. So they packed him up a little nap sack and I left with him. I HAVE A SON. We'll not officially because the ceremony isn't until Tuesday but he is in my care. The instructions from the orphanage were easy. He was their favorite, he eats anything, no allergies, he sleeps well and is very smart. I think I lucked out. He is the most adorable.
He only knows a few English words but important ones. He says Wow! No No No! He also says up!
He isn't a big fan of water and would only sit on the side of the pool with his legs in. Bath time was a nightmare he wouldn't go in the tub. I find out later they only every get cold showers. I thought a nice warm bath would be a good idea apparently not. He didn't nap the first day I had him but slept from 9 pm to 7 am and he is fully toilet trained even overnight.
Still not supposed to post pictures until after the ceremony. It has been rescheduled for Tuesday.
So cool Les. This brings back so many memories for Sue and I. Hurry home so we can meet the newest family member in person.
