Tuesday..day two....Stickers and bubbles and hugs


Today we took Daniel a book of stickers - all types of stickers that he had to peel off and placeover the correct silhoutte. He loves cars and big trucks and airplanes, and he was able to place them all in the correct locations. What we originally thought would be just one set of stickers, cars, turned into two more sets. Heloves stickers. We spent over an hour with airplanes, and big trunks, and "machinaca", AKA in America as cars.


He also enjoyed the bottle of blow bubbles. He made lots of bubbles and giggled a lot when he caught them or smashed 'emwith his hands. we also played kick ball and catch with a bouncy ball. He loved playing with the ball and was proud of his abilities to kick and catch. He did very good and never seemed to run out of energy.


We did take a snack for him and us - a banana. They are a special treat here, and many of our new adoptivefamily friends recommended that we take some to the orphanage. He loved that too. And we loved getting a couple of hugs when weleft him each time today.
Oh yes, there at the top...that's our first photo of the three of us. Daniel in fact says "we" when he looks at the pictures of the three of us.
Editor's note....fortunately I had a chance us some of this blogspot stuff from America...where it all appeared in English. Yet, now all I see are Kazakh letters. The format is the same, but the words sure aren't. If there are any savy world travelers reading this, please let us know if we can turn the English back on. TIA
