Progress
Jake let me sit near him at dinner last night and gave me a kiss. (I usually bribe him). He then told Cindy our coordinator, "I gave mama kiss and she gave me a kiss. We are okay". Ha! Small steps right? He also will say, "Mama, mama, Look at me!" in Chinese. I held his hand coming back to the hotel from the hot pot restaurant. BTW, Jake loves lamb, whole garlic cloves, and vinegar! How nice that he sleeps with Eric! Grant discovered he is a big lamb lover too! Go figure, Mr. Picky! Jake offers a toast every time we sit down to a meal. He really enjoys toasting very much which makes me wonder why he's so good at it! Really funny boy! He did much better last night even though he asked when his mama was coming to pick him up. He still gets confused when we talk about things he has at home and thinks it is his foster home. I'm kind of glad we decided not to go to the finding place as I think the long ride into a different town would make him think he is going home. I think it's best we just bond right now. He slept pretty well last night just waking up to look for his truck that Baba bought him. He always sleeps with a truck and his backpack has to be close by.
I've had so much swimming in my head and can only get a 10th of it down on "paper". At night my head is just racing. There are so many different emotions with this adoption. It is always painful to see a child go through something difficult and then I feel guilty for even feeling badly that he doesn't care for me. Considering what he is going through, he is doing so well. I have discovered the Asian Denice the Menice!!!!!!!
