Today was a wonderful day! We brought Pasha home from the baby house. The boy left the place naked- with only the diaper and clothes we had brought him. We took gifts and cakes and flowers for the care takers, doctors, and the director and her staff. We also drank champagne and they toasted Pasha, his new parents and his new life in America. The caretakers cried when they said good bye to him and when they toasted him. It was a sweet and emotional good bye. Meanwhile, Pasha seems estatic. He is very, very happy and has been playing and laughing all day like he has been here his whole life. He has crawled all over the apartment. We put him in a borrowed play pen for a nap, and he talked to himself for about 10 minutes and then slept for 2.5 hours. Hgh e mrf 555555555555555555bn m,mn He is helping me type right now. The previous sentence was all his! Smart, huh? He has yet to “freak out” at all and is just a totally happy and hilarious little boy. He makes all kinds of sounds and says a lot of “da da da da da”…. We’ll be here in the apartment for 5 more days and then we leave for Almaty. He is such a joy! The top four photos are all at the baby house- from the top:some of the staff with me and Pasha; Grove, Pasha and I in his room after we put his new clothes on him; me ready to leave with Pasha, and Grove signing the book letting us officially take him out of the baby house. The fifth picture is us in the car. Much love from Pavlodar…..
