Glad we got on that plane!

So, I knew that we would move past that horrible experience. And with love for our son, we did it. We have visited with him 3 times. A total of 7.5 hours. Today on our 2nd trip to see him, he came in running toward us. We knew he could be withdrawn, scared, and confused. But he is EXTREMELY energetic! Was a little over stimulated with all the toys in the meeting room. Things he had never played with. He LOVED the beach ball. He can eat all by himself. For the most part potty trained (yay!) Understands russian commands. But only says some words, no sentences. He can easly pick up english, due to the fact he is still young. He points and nods for yes or no. Loves to be tickled. He doesnt respond to his name, so that is good for us, since we are of course changing his name. I'll keep everyone in suspense for another day until we put his new name on legal documents. All in all, he wants alot of attention. Which who wouldnt, if you sat in a room all day with other kids, and only got personal time while you were getting dressed, or bathed. I can not even believe I am still up. I have not recieved more than 5 hours of sleep in 4 days. What we are doing tomorrow is, going to see him again for the last time. Fill out the application to get a court date. We were told in 10days we should get word of our court date. So looks like we will be here again, in 1 month! Crazy! To see him and have him home by his 2nd birthday! Looks like our 2nd trip will be 21 days. Yikes! Moscow is not cheap by all means. We went to tgi fridays today for lunch, and also took home a to-go dinner. It was $112.00! Yeas thats US money. It was like $2,250 rubles.
SO on that note i leave you this pic.
What one do you think is Milk? I have heard that shopping for milk in Russia is a trick. You see the green carton, has 1% on it, so you think Milk. nope its like a cream, like cheese. In a liquid form. I found that out after it curded in my coffee!

So to all who will be going to Russia, Milk is the one with the M in blue!
