Today we visited Maksim at the orphanage....for the LAST time! On Thanksgiving Day, we will go back and pick up our son.
Maksim was extra CRAZY today....he hugged us and then went immediately to the toy bag I brought along and dug out his favorite horse and a car to throw around. We walked to the playroom and Maksim strutted the halls quite confidently....the interpreter commented on how independent he is....we said, hmmmmm, sounds like another child of ours :)
We played a lot and Maksim discovered the small plastic slide with great delight. Suddenly he stopped playing, looked around the room and spotted me sitting about 5 feet away....he walked right over, stepped up on my lap and wrapped me in the biggest, sweetest hug. He repeated this a couple more times throughout our playtime.....and of course, I balled like a baby each time.

ps what happened to Mom ??
What a great feeling that must have been to get his hug!!! I laughed when reading the part about him being independent like your other child. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are all so happy for you and looking forward to your arrival home with that precious angel from God.
