Bonding Day 5

Today we brought some new toys to try out; a picture-card memory game and a small Lego race car. The memory game was quickly figured out and became boring. The lego car was fun, we followed the instructions and finally pieced together the car; I think it was a little too tough though because all the pieces were pretty small. We colored and painted for a bit, then gave him another kinder egg. This time he remembered about the egg, took it apart to eat the chocolate and open the toy inside. His memory is very good and surprising!! However, in the end, he wanted to see our cell phone to play some more games on. :) We were having such a good time today that we were moving into his second breakfast time. We could also tell he was getting sleepy from all the playing. Today we asked D if he enjoyed us being with him and if he would want us to be his Mama and Papa! He immediately said yes; what a great thing to hear!! We packed up our toys and got him ready to go eat; putting on his coat and hat. The orphanage staff asked if he wanted to give us a kiss and he said yes and ran over to us right away. We were all kind of suprised because boys his age don't normally like giving kisses - gross! :) We're so happy and excited that we are really bonding and making the best out of our time with him!

Until tomorrow,
Dust & Cort

Fairly new to your blog and I'm just catching up - congratulations on finding the little boy meant for you!! We are home now one month today with a 2 year old boy from Almaty. We've been bridging the gap of English and Kazakh with American Sign Language -- though with your child's age, likely he will catch on the the English quite quickly.
Best,
Stephanie

We are so happy for you. We are looking forward to meeting him too. You will need to take him to the island and play in the Gulf.
