Wow - where to begin. Thank goodness Sydney is here. She is the main attraction. Lucas and Eli didn't go 10 feet without checking where Ate' Sydney was. Good thing as shopping in the mall was wall to wall people. We did manage, shorts, jeans, 2 shirts, socks and the big hit of the night - tennis shoes. Eli is big into Hot Wheels and "cringe" Lucas really wanted Nike's sorry kiddo they didn't have them. Then we went onto Pizza Hut Bistro. Chicken, rice and vegi's for the boys and me, Syd had caesar salad and Mike had fish and chips. By half way through the meal Eli was yawning and Lucas was ready to go back to the room - the big draw was the tub apparently bath time is a big deal as was apparent by the volume of water on the floor. It's a huge tub as you can see and I think they thought it was a mini pool. I can only compare the two of them in the tub as fish swimming in a fishbowl that was two small and then there was the whole whirpool factor. These two boys definately know how to swim. Lucas just came up and asked if they can take a shower in the a.m. Huh? I thought boys were adverse to being clean? I'm sure they'll grow out of that.
As far as language we think Lucas does fairly well in English. He understands more than he says and repeats in English as long as we give him the correction. Eli on the otherhand has little conversational English and I'm not sure how much he's understanding. Amazingly is that Syd and I can actually understand some of the Tagalog words.

Happy to see you all so happy. Prayers are with you as you travel safely home with your newest family members.
ReplyDeleteAlready making memories!!!! In Korea most orphanage children only get a hand held bucket to bathe in. If that's the case for the boys, that tub must have looked like the ocean. Will be so interesting what they remember from this day in the years to come...
