The other side of the world... day 9

Today’s visits were good as usual. Other than we’ve learned that our boy can really pack a wallop! He kept trying to hit me in the face with things, and actually connected twice. The second time I said “Nyet” (no) and pouted and pretended to cry. He got really serious and patted my cheek and rubbed the spot he had hit me (above my eye). I think he got the message because he settled down.

It’s so funny, when we go get him, he is quite the popular little guy right now, ALL of the kids are so excited when we come, they all swarm to the doorway, and when he goes back in, they all swarm around him as if to be asking for all of the details of these new parents that he has, and what he did while he was away. He loves the attention I think.

I saw little Danil again today. He is just the sweetest cutest little thing! And so tiny.

A really funny thing happened today. Of course there is a language issue, and he doesn’t really speak much anyway. We were playing and he just started cleaning things up. It wasn’t time to go yet, so we were trying to figure out what he was doing, especially when he brought us our shoes! He was tryin to get rid of us!

Well, that didn’t happen, we still had like an hour left of our time. The next thing I knew, he was mooning us!! LOL He had pulled his little pants down to his knees! I pulled them right back up and told him not to do that, but then it clicked! I asked if he had to go pee-pee. He nodded and John slipped his shoes back on and scooped him up and got him there just in time! It occurred to me while they were gone that he was packing our stuff up because he knew that meant we would take him back to his groupa room and he could go potty!! I was right because as soon as they came back, he pulled the toys back out and was happy to hang out with us for another hour! LOL Is this a smart kid or what!?

He still prefers me to Papa, but that’s because it’s all women who have taken care of him all of his life. He really is a little snuggle bug though. I just can’t say enough how sweet he is (for the most part hehe). Really, he is like a typical 2 yr old boy (but yes, he is almost 5). Pushing limits, being ornery, but so cute and sweet it’s not a problem. LOL

Here are some pics from today… and I’m also working on a video if I can figure out how to get it to upload! So, there might be one or two at the end of the pics! LOL

I could not be more in love with this little boy...

Concentrating on the music player


Yes, ladies & gentlemen... he is trying to get INTO the bag!! He would probably fit too!! LOL

Cheese!!

Animal cookies & Apple juice, what could be better? Of course, he ended up spilling some juice so we got to change shirts...

He was trying to put the "smokestack" on the engine part of a lego...

And he DID!! His small motor skills are NOT lagging, I'm telling you!!
