5th visit









Our 5th visit was this morning, it snowed and our driver got caught in traffic so he was an hour late. so we didn't get as much time with Josiah as I would have liked. it was the first snow of the year our coordinator said they will have snow now until march.

When we got to the baby house they made us wait, they said they had other parents visiting and had no room to put us in. so we had to wait for one room it was a room we had not been in yet . I guess it’s an office had desks and no toys or play area jusy a small sofa like the other room we were in. the door opened and a lady was holding a baby they came and took the baby and the lady left .then we could hear Josiah coming and I stood at the end of the hall and knelt down, when he saw us he came right into my arms and hugged me it was really sweet .then we went into the room Mike got out his favorite toy and he went over and sat on Mikes lap playing with the toy dancing his little dance , then I tried to get him to color but he didn't want much to do with that .we tried giving him other toys but he would push them away and say no. he only wanted the music toy, he would push the buttons until it came to the song he wanted to hear then he would stop and listen until it was over and look for another song. he knew what ones he wanted to listen to.He put his hand up for me to kiss again like I did the other night. And when it was time to go we kissed him told him we loved him and said "bye bye",he waved and said "bye bye" ,the nurse that was taking him back smiled and looked at us with a look like wow he already knows how to say bye bye,  they don't say bye bye they say packa. so he has learned that just from us. he also learned the word no lol not from us telling him no but from when we try to give him something if he pushes it away I say, "no you don't want it?" and he says "no" and shakes his head no.checked out the overalls he was wearing and they were 18 mo so I think we are safe with the 2t clothes I bought him and his shoes are size 5 good to know .

 I talked our coordinator in to taking us back for another visit tonight since our visit was cut short today. so we are going back at 4:30 yeah!!! Then we have the morning visit tomorrow and that’s the last one it is going to be hard to say good bye.
We didn't go to the winter castle because of the snow so Boris our driver is going to take us tomorrow after our visit. then we have to leave the hotel by 1:00 am because the bridge goes up for the night and if we don't get over it we miss our flight. our flight is not until 6:20 but we have to be at the airport by 4:00 to register . so Boris said he would take us for a drive around to see all the buildings light up. he said it is very beautiful so that should be fun .then we will be on our way home after that ugggg 3 flights two 3 hrs and one 9 hrs I don't mind the 3hrs but the 9 hr flight is hard. But it will be good to see the kids.

He's so tiny! Sounds like he's about the size of our 18 month old. I can't believe you're almost done with your visits. Does it make you so sad to have to leave him? I am dreading that! Sounds like we need to find some sound-making music-y toys to bring. We have my i-phone that has cool kid apps, but that's it. Also it sounds like we're gonna need our snow boots, eh?
