Meeting Charlie & Levi...Day 6

This morning we were up early waiting for our driver. The plan was to pick up the facilitator, go to the social service office to pick up inspector, and then to orphanage to meet with director & then meet the boys. Then we would travel to Notary & then we could have a 2nd visit after 4:00. We had a full day, but a very BLESSED day!!! Our meeting with the director went very smoothly, and we were able to ask lots of questions. He went over all the information in both of the boys files and told us we would see them BOTH!!! Yay!!! The only thing really new that we really didn't know was that Levi has a ASD & VSD. We knew he had a heart defect, but that it had not needed surgery. He sees a cardiologist every 6 months to make sure it has not worsened & so far the VSD has closing a little & the ASD is still open. So, our first stop will be the cardiologist once he is home. Charlie was born with an ASD, but it has closed!!

The children were all playing outside so the director lead us out to meet Charlie & this is what I received when they told him this is your mama....

We spent only a few minutes with him and we were off to meet Levi.... Now, Levi was extremely focused on spreading a little blanket out & simply did not have time for us. His goal was to just pretend we were not there. Ha! So we hung out & played for a little bit & then had to go back into the building to pick up documents and head to notary. However, as Levi's little groupa came through the door, Levi spotted Sid, and this is what he got:)

Our afternoon visit was great! We spent the 1st hour with Charlie & then his groupa went inside & we were able to spend the next hour with Levi. Charlie (AKA Wild Man) was so excited when we went to get him from his room. He squealed & laughed. We went for a walk, blew bubbles, played on slide & swing & LAUGHED....Boy does this little man have a great laugh!!! He is ALL boy:) He threw himself on the ground when we returned him to his nanny, but it was very short lived. ~~~~ Levi (AKA Cuddle Bug) was not so sure about going with us, but he finally came to me & laid his little head on my shoulder. After a little walk, he decided that he might try letting Papa hold him for a bit & that's all it took for Sid to become his new best buddy. We played with a puzzle & made roaring animal sounds. He would take each puzzle piece and roar & then show it to his Papa & smile. When we returned to his groupa he look at his nanny and said something and then laid his head on my shoulder & said Mama. Love it!!! He fussed only a little when they had to go inside, once we told him Paka Paka(goodbye) & Zaftra(tomorrow)and then he waved as he went inside.

~What a SWEET...SWEET...SWEET day God Blessed us with today~
