3rd visit .

Visit #3 we got to go back and see him for a 3rd visit usually they only let you come once a day but they said we could come back after his nap so of course we did. So we got there around 4 pm and the children were having tea is what they said, they get tea and cookies or cracker or fruit after nap. I guess like I give my daycare kids snack after nap but I would sure never give them tea our coordinator said tea is given to Russian children almost from birth. .They wanted to let him finish his tea So they took us up to this little room the size of a close.t it had a small sofa and a book shelf with a few toys but also a file cabinet and some other stuff like maybe storage, it did have a window. Mike and our coordinator and I all had to fit in this room and somehow play with a 3 year old boy lol. at first we thought it was crazy but it worked well it was easier to contain him and he was not distracted by his little friends coming to the door, he just sat on my lap and played for the most part. He loved the little music toy I brought that plays songs and nursery rhymes. he figured out fast how to work it and would choose the same song over and over. he would put it up to his ear to listen and he danced a little so cute. I also brought some animals for him to play with, he liked them and choose the giraffe to hold but would take the others out and I would say the sound and he would look at me and giggle so hard then our coordinator told me the sound they make for the animals in Russia (who knew animals sounded different in Russia lol) anyways that’s why he was giggling because I was saying it wrong. The room we were in was the path to the Dr office where they give the kids shots and checkups, when the nurse came thru Josiah moved up in my lap and made a funny face. she said," no no its ok no shots." and patted his heads he was ok then lol he knew what that room was. earlier when we where there for our visit the nannies would take tow kids out at a time they were crying they told us they were going to get a flue shot, then when they came back they were all smiles. not sure what they did after the shot maybe gave them a candy. While we were playing with Josiah I took his hand and kissed his palm, he like that and kept giving me his palm up to my lips then once he grabbed my nose and giggled. when he giggles it is not just a little giggle it is a GIGGLE! he's so cute and has such a since of hummer he likes to tease. We had a taxi take us for this visit and he waited for us we told him one hour so we had to go, it was already past an hour. Josiah didn't want to go, I’m glad. When we got back to the hotel the Internet was not working I’m so upset I need to call the kids! it is still not working now but I’m writing this on the desk top and will copy it over as soon as I can. we will be leaving soon to go back to the committee to sigh the last of the papers. then to the notary to get them notarized. and then to our 4th visit. We have not done any sight seeing and to tell you the truth we don't really care we are so tired we just crash in the hotel. but I know we need to go see something or we will regret it. I think Boris our driver will take us someplace tomorrow maybe the winter castle. The hotel we are staying in is right near the bay of Finland and we can see it out our windows it is pretty. they also have little gift shops all thru the hotel 3 restraints a bar and the water park that also has video games and stuff for kids I think a lot of the locals come here for those things.
