The day at the Zoo was so much fun! Joy and JR holding hands, racing each other, climbing on every available surface, smashing chocolate ice cream all over their mouths! What could be more fun than having a little brother to share it all with!?
JR is a sweet little boy, who is bigger than we thought, and he's well-behaved with us. But he also likes to run towards anything and everything that interests him. Even with the translator/social working pretty much let him run around. It was interesting.
Joy was great! Really stepped up and did a great job of being a big sister. She watched him, ran after him when asked to, stopped him when he got too far, and held his hand whenever he would let her. He wanted to play Rock Paper Sissors for a long time, hopping back and forth depending on who won. It was fun and wonderful to watch.
We have some cute pictures that Tim has posted to facebook, but they don't seem to be posting. So, we will wait to post pictures here for a few days. Sorry about that!
Today is papersigning day. Since we've already spent so much time with him, we have only an hour and 20 minutes planned for that. I'm anxious about the goodbyes - his foster mother has been his only mother for 6 years. He is her only foster child. She already cried yesterday, but it is going to be hard for them both to say goodbye.
Pray for a smooth transition day! He's been pretty catered to and allowed a lot of freedom with few boundaries. It is going to be survival for this week, for sure!
Love to you all
Margaret
