She also told us this about their interaction:
Hey. guess who I met yesterday?????? The cutest rolly, polly toddler at Weifang!
It was a short visit (a couple of minutes) as we had spent much time downstairs with the older kids. By the time we got upstairs, it was 1:30 and the toddlers were sleeping. I was so disappointed as I didn't think they would wake him up for a photo session. BUT they did! However, he was a bit cranky. Sleepy eyed and slighly confused. i couldn't get close to him as he would cry when I reached out my hand towards him. The ayi couldn't even bring him in the room we were in and just stood outside the sliding window. he obviously is very attached to the ayi as he seemed content as long as he was with her and not with the strangers in the room. CUTE CUTE CUTE. I so badly wanted to hold him (just to make you jealous!) but alas, you will have to be the one to hold him in your arms. Be prepared for some grieving as he does seem very attached. As my guide said, that is a really good thing. I have some photos. will send two now as anymore seems to clog up the computer. Mostly they are of the same situation....through a window out into the hall. Funny story. the last photo is of him waving "bye" and the only happy moment he had during the whole interaction! the ayi is laughing because of that! Sorry the photos are a little grainy. Poor lighting I think. rest assured, however, he is a content, well loved little boy!!! Happy day!
So we are really going to have to be praying for this little love as he grieves and experiences some really big changes.
Today we got our homestudy in the mail. I will be mailing that with our i800 form tomorrow. Slowly but surely we are getting closer to China.
