Yesterday we had to go for the medical exam. Very busy place as other adoptive parents had to wait for three exams....eye test, ear, nose and throat, and regular body exam. Eli did not completely pass the eye exam so he had to go for a private test. Maybe he needs to have glasses???? David and I tested him back in the hotel and he did fine.....go figure.... ENT was fine. We have all of our body parts.... Then we came to the TB test......It took 5 of us to hold him down..... He saw it coming and freaked out.....yikes.
Today is Sunday....we walked to an underground passageway that led to a beautiful park. It had lush gardens, exercise equipment, boats, a playground, and rides. We had fun, it was hot. When it was time to go, Eli started to cry, and cry, and refused to leave. He sees something and immediately wants to try it. Needless to say we had to carry him back to the hotel kicking and screaming. After a quick bath and all the lights out, he fell right to sleep.
Jane--I am loving looking at all your pictures and just bubbling over with joy for you! He is such a cutie and sounds very much like Hannah when I first got here. she was always here there and everywhere--so busy exploring, turning every light on and off a million times, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhen we got back home, the first two park trips ended with my carrying her out kicking and screaming because she did not want to leave.
The frustration gets so much easier as the language and understanding improve.
Aren't all the wonderful times just the best ever!!!
Take care
