Wed., March 9th - The stinker can almost walk!

Today we ran some errands and then I got to see my boy! We went to the "Building of Documents" where we bought our train tickets and applied for Max's passport. This all took about half the time that it took us to get back to the hotel - traffic was HORRIBLE! The people from SWAF were very helpful and very nice. Once we got back to the hotel, we went to our favorite restaurant to eat - The Tea Spoon. We ate "pancakes" and drank Pepsi. We bought what looked like and icing covered pastry, but it was hard spun sugar filled with marshmallow cream. Can you say sweet! I can eat just about anything, but I couldn't eat it! Neither could Annie. We then hopped the bus to go see my boy! He was great today! At first he was really hyper, but we started singing and playing with him and he calmed right down. Music is the key with this little guy. He did something today that we didn't know that he could do - he held on to our hands and walked all the way across the floor and back (about 45 feet!). I called him a stinker for not letting us know that he could do this, and he just laughed. When his little legs got tired, he sat down and put his hands behind him so that we couldn't get them to stand him up. It was so cute! He is going to learn to walk pretty quickly once we are home. It won't take him long to figure out that he can keep up with Sissy better if he walks! It was so good to see him! They let us keep him for almost 2 hours. We came back to the hotel and I had a surprise for Annie - her class Skyped her and she was able to talk to her friends. It was great! She has really been missing her friends! This time it was just voices, but I'm hoping that next time she will have a video cam so that we can actually see each other. Tomorrow is a day of laundry and English! HOORAY!!!
