Skyping

We (Sarah, Levi and I) Skyped with our son last night.

Talking about CrAzY!!!!

We where all so nervous including John. He laughed and giggled so much.  He thought it was amazing that Sarah could count in Mandarin, and he began to count with her.  Levi showed him a Build-A-Bear Monkey we got him for his birthday and he said very plain "monkey".  But that was about the only English word I understood. We sang "Happy Birthday" to him.  He kept asking where is bah bah (Dad) was and Aaron.  We are going to set up another time to skype when he can talk to Larry and Aaron.  We showed him his room and he seemed to like it.  He said "I want to go home now"....and we want him here NOW.

We talked about so many things:

- he wants to go to Disneyland

- he is going to teach me how to cook noodles

- he wants to learn to play basketball

- his favorite color is yellow, second favorite light blue

- they have snow there, and he wanted to know if we had any

- he had a dog at his foster home

- he can play ping-pong

- he wants us to call him JOHN

Each one of those thing just gives us a glimpse into the person he is.  Adoption is so much of a puzzle and every little thing you can learn is like a piece connecting things to another....there will be many gaps in his puzzle but we pray the Lord just fills the empty spots with His love.
