YEA!!! YEA!!! YEA!!!
We saw him today and everything went great. He was happy, healthy, fun.... the list goes on and on. I can't believe how much he's grown! (But kids do that, I suppose) We were able to see him for about an hour and a half today. (And we managed to capture about 45 minutes of video).
I'd love to post some of the video but our internet connection here is done by using "their computer" in the computer lab. Therefore, it's really difficult to do. Sorry. I'll figure something out soon.
We played a lot with Zac! And what an active 2 year old he is. Holy cow! Once he fully warmed up to us. (which took all of 10 minutes) he began throwing a ball with us, stacking blocks, playing peek-a-boo. The biggest hit was playing "food". This game involved handing us different plastic toy foods and we would pretend to eat it. Then we'd give them back and he would pretend to eat it. VERY cute.
At one point, he even stated, "Nyet Mama". (He's two, what better word is there besides NO?) But it was so cute when he said Mama. He even called me Papa at one point. Actually, he's talking quite a bit. Our small Russian vocab has helped a lot. Now I wish we knew more. He's very responsive to the orphanage caretakers when they speak Russian to him.
More to come later.
