We're back in the hotel playing and loving Cairo!
Thank
you so much for your prayers this morning! Our group of 5 families left
the hotel at 9:30AM to pick up our kids. We watched as group after
group picked up children and loved on them. Others in our group received
their children, the whole room was filled with couples holding their
children, except for us and one other couple from our group. Our kids
were 30min behind the rest of the groups. The entire room cleared out
and we were left. Honestly, it was the best case scenario, because we
didn't have to fight the crowds as Cairo entered the door at 11:45AM. We
could see him and we knew him right away!
He is doing
very well. He was upset to leave his orphanage worker and wouldn't come
to me, but attached to Tony within 15 minutes. He calmed down pretty
quickly once we got out some food and really enjoyed opening and closing
the water bottle and drenching himself as he drank, and drank, and
drank. He warmed up to me and let me hold him on my lap on the way home
from the registration office.
He is incredibly
talkative and laughs very easily. He is loud and curious and very
mobile. He already is playing and parroting our words very well, one of
the women working in the hotel asked Tony if he spoke Mandarin and
English. He has taken interest in some flashcards we brought and is
currently quizzing Tony on the names of everything.
He
uses his hands very well and pulls himself up to standing easily. He is
not walking, but that doesn't stop him from moving around and getting
where he pleases.
He's AWESOME!
We finalize registration tomorrow and have visa appointments, medical
checks, and other meetings this week. We will visit his orphanage
tomorrow as well.
Thanks again for all your love and support! We'll update again soon!
