Day 4: RAINY DAY INDOOR FUN

Austin 'lounging' on the slide :)

Today it rained again so Adam made plans for us to do some indoor activities. It is so nice having someone tell us ‘we’re going to do this and then this’. It sounds weird but it’s one less thing we have to think about.

The car ride is really hard for our little guy. It is so far to drive that it becomes hard for him to keep his mind off missing his foster family and wondering what in the world is going on! My heart breaks when he gets that sad look in his face and covers his eyes so he doesn’t have to look at Tony or I. 

Today we went to another play place (this one in a mall). This one was smaller but had some different things to entertain the kids. He enjoyed a musical book he found and he likes toys and games that when you push a button they do something.

After the play place we rode several escalators to the top of the mall to have lunch. We decided on one place and the woman behind the counter was very willing to try and wrestle down our English order. She seemed very happy with her self that she accomplished the task. We were very happy too (ordering food is by far the hardest thing we do every day). After each order she would ask (in native language) what else. When we said 'nothing’ she said 'Game over?’, Tony replied 'Game over!’ It was pretty funny.

We bought Little Guy (LG) noodles that looked like Mac N Cheese, when we got to the table he didn’t seem

so interested, Tony offered him some pork with lots of seasons and rice. He was all about it! So we know 'go big or go home’ on LG's meals. Austin had a plain hot dog 😉. 

Adam suggested that after playing and lunch we walk to our hotel where LG could take a nap. He was excited to be in the hotel room and see everything but no nap was going to happen (I had little hope in the first place) but we had fun playing and hanging out.

Today he seemed more interested in the iPad/phone so I am hoping that will help with the car rides. 

We left the hotel and we headed to get LG's photo taken for his passport, visa, and medical documents. We will need these at the US Embassy  next week. 

We weren’t in the car 5 minutes and LG was sound a sleep. 

Praying tomorrow goes smoothly as well.
