Hello:
We had the most amazing day today. Joey came "walking" out to us with one of his Nannies and we crouched down and stared at each other! MB picked him up first and then he came to Dad. He never even cried. It only took him a short time to warm up to us. We mainly bribed him with Cheerios! He laughed quite easily...mainly when playing with the Cheerios container and when we tickled his pudgy little feet!
On the short bus ride from the Provincial Office back to the hotel, he was fascinated with all of the traffic and bright signs. Since he had never been outside of the orphange before, this was quite an exciting ride for him. He kept chatting (though we could not understand him!) and seemed so content.
When we got back to the hotel room, Tom & Joey just stared out the window and gazed at the Pearl River and all of the big boats going by. We can tell he'll be an avid boater! Once we changed his diapers, Tom laid down on the bed with him while MB boiled water for his rice cereal (a favorite we are told) and before the water was ready, he was sleeping.
So, we have been sitting here staring at him for the past hour. It is hard to put into words how we are feeling. One word that keeps coming to mind is "blessed". The memory of the long wait to come get Joey has all but vanished. He is absolutely perfect. God certainly knew what He was doing!
Love,
Mom, Dad and Joey
