Hey guys! We just got back to our room from seeing Drew! It went really good today. It still took him a while to loosen up, he is a very shy reserved little guy. It will be a big change for him when he gets back to the U.S. We brought him a sucker and he had no idea what it was, he never could grasp the concept that you are supposed to lick it! He kept trying to take the whole sucker off of the stick. So needless to say, Tim ate the sucker. He loved the books we brought him and the matchbox cars. Tim brought him a ball and played with him for a while. He is still very scared of Timothy. He will easily come and sit in my lap, but not Tim's yet. He said Mama after we bribed him with a piece of candy. Tim decided to give him a cough drop! Big mistake!! He swallowed the entire cough drop! I could not believe that he didn't choke! After that, he kept farting so I asked him if he had to go pee, which is Pisit' in Russian. He nodded yes to me. So, I proceeded to take him to the bathroom but it was too late. So, we will still have some potty training issues when we get home. He loves it when we take his shoes off and play with his feet. Today, he had on girls tights in neon green with size 5 shoes which were so tight on his feet. Timothy couldn't even get them back on him. We got to spend about 2 hours with him. We talked with the doctor at the orphange and she says he is ok but he is very wild, always hitting or running into things. Well, I guess well have to wait to see that. We will go Monday afternoon to pick him up for good! By the way, our cell phone is not working. It is around 7 45 pm here. So, if someone would please let my mom and Donna know that would be great! Love you guys.
Tim and Laura

Well only this weekend left till you get him, your almost there. Hang in there! Love to you both! Is it cold there today? Looks like you all have on coats? Its rainy here today too! Love yas! Jill
ReplyDeleteHey you guys,
ReplyDeleteLove the new pictures and, Laura, your posts are absolutely hilarious, especially about the 'window kites'. You should write a book about this whole process when you get back. It would be helpful to other parents and also really freakin' funny.
Sounds like it's been pretty interesting and you've had to get creative with even the simplest of daily activities. I can just see Drew when he's all grown up and ya'll are telling him these hilarious stories. "You were SO afraid of your giant Daddy!" Haha...
Like Jill said, don't worry about the wildness. All that will work itself out, and besides, how could he possibly be any wilder than Tim, Greg and Alan?! Seems like he'll fit right in to me.
Glad to hear from ya'll and can't wait until you get to pick up Drew for good! I'll be out of town next week and probably won't be able to post, but I'll be thinking about ya'll and getting updates from Mom. Be safe and catch up with you again soon!
Hey guys! Drew is too cute! I know you are about to go crazy...keep flying the kites! And hang in there. You are in my prayers. God has a great plan for your lives. What a lucky little boy! Can't wait to meet him in person. Stay strong. Love ya - Leigh
