So sweet

We got to see the boys again today! Woohoo!

Andre had a very tearful start to his morning. Ken helped to console him and after much singing, looking out of the window (for distraction purposes), and rocking he felt better. He then mastered a puzzle in the play room in no time flat!

Although Andre is usually the one who shares with Greesha, today Greesha shared both crayons and another favored toy with Andre. It is so nice to see the boys caring for each other.

And, to top it all off, Andre - the more independent of the two, the boy who almost never wants to be held, and smiles less often - wanted me to hold him tonight and then he kissed me 4 times!!!! I almost cried with him in my arms! So sweet.

Hey there, sounds like you two have had quite an interesting trip so far! I am very happy that all is working out for you two! sorry to hear you couldn't see the boys or have turkey on thanksgiving - but at least you made the best of it! and there is always next year! the apartment your staying in looks super nice! did you guys decide to rent one or is that part of the adoption program? do you anticipate any real language barriers between you and the boys? I'm sure they will learn English quickly because they are so young. anywho - I guess thats enough for now! thanks for keeping us all informed about your trip! cant wait to meet the boys! Jered says hello and congratulations! ttyl

How wonderful that Andre wanted you to hold him and that he gave you kisses. I am sure you were beaming with these interactions! Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful information!
