Day 3 of 10

This morning we visited LP. When we got to the orphanage workers were outside painting and sprucing the place up. In the 2 years we have been away they have done a lot of work to the orphanage. They have new playground equipment, have planted tulips and trees, and have done a lot of painting. It all looks fantastic. We can really tell there is a lot of TLC in the orphanage.

Today's visit was good. The Spanish couples were back and then us and the other CHI family. So four families in one room trying to bond/play with their children. It is tough, all the kids get easily distracted by the other parents/kids. But Luke mentioned yesterday that LP says"Mama & Papa", which today it was more like the Budweiser commercial when they said "WHATZ UP ". LP kept doing "MAMAAAAAAAAAA" with a cute grin on his face.

I was getting concerned that he had grown a bit since we left and questioned whether his clothes were going to fit, so today we took some clothes and shoes with us during our visit to see if they would fit. The shoes seemed to be exactly the right fit and the clothing seemed to be a good fit as well. I think there might be one or two outfits that won't fit , but I guess what ever doesn't fit, I will just leave for the orphanage.

Well tonight we are going to treat ourselves and dine out for dinner. We have been really good this past week and have only eaten out once and that was celebrating a successful court. The rest of the time we have taken advantage of the grocery stores and eaten items we had brought from home.
