I got to see my boy today! He is so funny - anytime he doesn't get his way, he just sits in the floor and yells at the top of his little lunds. He doesn't fuss or cry - just yells. Of course, it does't work, but it is funny. I just looked at him and said in a very sing songy voice "you can yell all you want to but you still aren't going to pull down the curtains." One of the social workers from court happened to be there with another family. She was laughing at how Max was crawling all of us. She said a few things to him in Russian and then said Mumma - he immediately looked at me! She was so surprised, and then she went around the orphanage telling everybody. They really underestimate what DS kids understand! Anyway, it was a tender moment.
We then left and went shopping! I learned two very important Russian words:s "sale" and "clearance!"
One of the guys couldn't make it to the discussion group so it ended up being a tutoring session with Anatole. He had a lot to do so he was a little distracted. We talked for about 45 minutes, and then he went on his way. Everything is so fast paced here - busy, busy, busy! One person made the comment that Moscow is very fast - not laid back like St. Petersburg. Well, if this is laid back, we're gonna get run over in Moscow! Ilya will be our driver/interpretor - I hope he is a body guard, too!
We enjoyed and evening "at home." We made potato soup, listened to some music, and watched two movies. I have no idea what tomorrow will bring!
