Well, today was another
really good one.
Little man is so
sweet. Still no words, but a smile and a giggle! Seems he likes to
fly down the hall with Michael as his plane.
He is slowly coming out
of his shell. Robin swears he understands English and is just holding out
on us. Sometimes that look in his eyes makes me wonder too.
We had a late day of
appointments, so we spent a little bit of time at the hotel pool in the
morning. Asher let us take him in and hold him, but really had no use for
the swimming thing. He did enjoy sitting under the umbrella having some
water and M&M's though (:
He also worked on his
self feeding skills today, thankfully the restaurant had children's forks. He
could have done some damage to his beautiful face with a real one. He
spent a LONG time stabbing his food and moving it from plate to plate. But he
did manage to get a few things into his mouth.
He isn't eating as well
as yesterday because he is running a fever. So prayers would be
appreciated. If his fever is too high, we will have to reschedule his
medical exam, and that could back things up down the line. So please pray that
he is better tomorrow so we can get the exam done and not hit any delays.
The rest of the day was
spent on the Island picking up our laundry, doing some souvenir shopping and
having some dinner. Robin, Asher and I took a cab back to our hotel with
all of our stuff, and Michael and Cassidy walked. Yep, they beat us
back. Our cab driver must have seen sucker written on mine and Robin's
forehead, and took us back via the long way. Then dropped he us off a few
blocks from the hotel to boot!
Now, before you get all
judgmental, try taking a cab in a foreign city of 12 million people... yep,
you'd get taken too!
So, that is the news
from here. Tomorrow is an early day so I am off to bed.
Love you!

Miss You All and am praying Asher's fever goes away quickly and without incident.
Robin looks the same at a pool in China as she does at a pool in Florida...go figure. lol ;)
GOTCHA Day pics were great! He's such a doll. Looking forward to watching all the littles get to know him!
Sleep well, my friend!

Claire,
Not taking anything away from the rest of the kids, but there's something soooooo special about this little guy.
It's written all over his face and staring back at you with those soulful eyes...whatever it is, HE's GOT IT.
Saying prayers for a healthy Asher and no delays on your return trip.
Hugs,
BJ
