Well today was set to be our last visit, but there is a small chance we will get to go tomorrow, IF the weather improves. It was a bit snowy today and the roads weren't as nice. So, if all goes well we will get to make one more trip. This would be good because unorganized Sara left the papers that we had drawn his foot and hand prints on and forgot to leave the disposable camera that was suggested for them to take pictures of him while we are waiting for our second trip.
But for the good stuff....Today was even better than yesterday. He hardly shyed at all from us and we had a blast with catch, bubbles, puzzles, crayons, riding the horse and just wrestling around on the floor. He even played chase a bit. It was pretty much the same routine and we had better get creative tomorrow because I think he was starting to get bored with the same old same old!
We left the toys there today as well as the blanket that Cindy Schlattmann made, since we were unsure if we would get to return. On the way out the door today, he blew us kisses. That was so wonderful. If only he could go with us now.
Our final stop today was at the notary. We signed documents that "officially" state we want to adopt Vladimir. There was a lot of talk at the notary about the latest crazy thing an American family did to a child adopted from Russia. We can only hope that it won't affect our situation.
Oh by the way, we have thought of a name...Sy. I think it is fitting of him. So he will be Sy Vladimir Schlattmann.
Thanks to all of you who are following us on this journey and for all the wonderful thoughts and prayers. No new pictures to post. We will see what we find tomorrow or this evening.
Oh Sara, I just read your latest post and it brought tears to my eyes. I hope you are able to spend another day with him. I am sure it will be difficult to come home without him. I am praying for a quick return for you to bring him home. And by the way...I love the name Sy. Take care. All my love to you guys ~ Kate
