First day of bonding done


What a day we went to the babyhouse at 10:00am. We had to wait about 15:oo min. when we got there because Ivan was in music class, we could hear them all singing(wish we knew what they were singing) Then we went into a big room and a little boy came running up to me with a great big hug saying Mama and did the same to Paul and you can guess it was Ivan(they call him Vanna) He loved the gifts,but soon after he opened them and realized he was along with us he started to cry but not for long, Mom knows, we took out gold fish and he came and sat on my lap. We have a photo album for him and that was a big hit he loved looking at the pictures and wouldn't put it down. At the end of our time with him he grabbed both our hands on his own and brought us to his room where his groupa was, they were getting ready for lunch, he gave us both hugs and kisses before we left, I love his hugs already. So we go agian tomorrow.

As for Paul and I we went to the market today bought more food and a coffee press can't believe we communicated what we wanted. As for the food we are still trying to find things we like, dairy is tricky not liking much of it. Paul just laughs as I make him try everything first. All in all we are doing good, I'm a little home sick, feel so out of place. But every day gets a little easier. are ya wanting to see pictures ok here is Ivan with us today!!

Love ya all, 8:25 pm Tuesday
