Day 2 of Bonding
Had a great day today! We met with the doctor first thing this morning to go over his medical history. Afterwards they brought him in and we played in the Doctor’s office for about an hour and a half. We colored and played with a new car today! GOOD NEWS – in our meeting today we discovered the following about our new little guy… 1. He likes dogs and can already say Sadie! 2. He loves to swim! 3. He LOVES chocolate (it’s his favorite food)!
He is so detailed and likes to keep order. He would take the lid off a marker, color with it, put the lid back on it, line the marker up with the others and then select a new color. He puts everything away when he is done playing with something and is very creative. We got him one of those cars that you roll backwards to make it drive forward and he and Dustin created ramps, jumps and roads. As soon as the car would crash into something and put it out of place, he would stop and fix everything before playing with the car again. It’s adorable. While playing, Dust and I just look at each other and smile!
At the end of our meeting today, he gave us both a hug for the first time!! (Awwwww !) He also asked us to bring him another airplane tomorrow for him to play with!
After leaving the Kids Village we went to Svetlana’s office to meet with her again. Since Yakov happened to be in town, he came over to her office so that we could meet him as well. It was great to finally meet him; we are sooooo thankful for all the help that Yakov and Svetlana have given us over the last 2 months! So glad they were still there for us when we had all the issues with our agency.
Just finished dinner (grilled cheese sandwiches & vegetables) and are gearing up for our evening of dial-up internet blog postings, email checking and probably a couple more episodes of Heroes.
Love,
D&C
PS – We can’t post pics of him on our blog until after our court date (since our blog is public), but I am going to try to post on our Facebook pages tonight since they are private. If you’re not on our Facebook and interested, feel free to add me.

I am so happy to see that you have found your forever child. He sounds like he is adorable! Here is a good Russian word to use with him: maladyetz. It means "good boy" or "clever child" and is used when they do something good like draw a nice picture or put away their toys by themselves. And, of course, you'll need: ya loobloo teb-ee-a (I love you in Russian). Good luck and all the best!
Yeah! I am so happy for you! AND his "orderly" manner will come in handy :) You can skip the clean up song! :) Enjoy!
I am so happy Court. I saw the picuters on facebook and it made me cry. So love reading your posts and hearing your journey. Exciting next 12 days or so!!!
So thrilled that you found your son. Looking forward to continue to follow your journey as a family. If you can, get the first 1000 word in Russian book as soon possible....our son was older than expected and this book was invaluable to us in communication because we had a picture and the russian word with almost about every object you can imagine as well as some faces that showed emotion....we used those alot for sad, mad, happy, etc. We hope everthing goes well during the next few days of bonding!
wahoo!! GREAT 2nd day of bonding.. heading to FB to add you.. :) so thrilled!! :)
