July 14, 2014

We survived our first overnight. I can just lie there and watch him sleep. Today was a busy day we had to go back to the orphanage and meet the Director to show our appreciation. Then they had a luncheon for us. From there we went to get pictures taken of the kids for Vietnamese Passport, Canadian Temporary Passport and Canadian Citizenship. We then ventured out on these crazy streets to go and buy long pants. In order for Dave and I to get into the building for the Giving and Receiving ceremony we need pants!

At the orphanage we met a man from the USA that had been working here for years as a physiotherapist.  He said that Nam (Teason).was like the ambassador of the orphanage. At only three he helped all of the other kids and was always very interested in learning all new things. He said he was going to be very successful in life. He also gave him a watch. He said that when they first met he was fascinated with his watch. It sounds like my son was a very liked kid in the orphanage. All of the Nannies said similar things about him.

We had better luck at the pool today. He would go in the wadding pool and splash around with the other kids. He preferred holding my hand but sometimes forgot and would walk around by himself.
He has great facial expressions and loves to joke around and make us laugh. I also figured out the shower. You get him in and out quick and very little hot water. He still doesn't like it but 100% better than trying to bath him.  

Tomorrow is the ceremony after which I think I have the green light to post pictures.
