We were blessed with another hot day today – a perfect day
for a swim play date with our new friends Lee and “T”. This morning, we hung out at the guest house
playing and reading. After lunch, we
packed up our swim goodies and headed to Lee and T’s” guest house. The boys and Kevin played in the pool for
hours! Kevin was pulling them around in
the pool, throwing them, helping them with their swimming. Lee and I caught up under the canopy as we
have both seen more sun than our skin is used to. J It was so awesome to watch them play
together. Both boys were jumping into
the pool over and over and gained confidence in jumping into the deeper
parts! We have some adorable pictures of
“N” and “T” jumping into the pool holding hands. J We also have a great cannonball photo with
all three of them jumping in at once.
“N” is getting progressively more comfortable in the water each
day. He swam the entire length of the
pool by himself with no floaties today (and their pool is probably twice the
size of ours!!!)!! So proud!!!
Lee and I chatted about how the boys are doing, how the
process has been for her and for us, the funny things the boys say and do, and
such. It is so nice to have another
family here to spend time with and share this experience with. Our journeys have been similar in the sense
that we were both down to the wire to get here this year, so we are excited to
be in it together.
Lee and “T” have their court date tomorrow, so it will be a
very exciting day for them!! All the T’s
are crossed, the I’s are dotted, and it’s finally time to make it
official!!! We can’t wait to celebrate our
two families coming together in this Thanksgiving week!! J
After we left Lee and “T’s” house, we headed to the store to
pick up a few more groceries. Then, it
was back in the pool for a bit. “N” just
can’t get enough of the pool! Food is
really the only reason he wanted to get out. J
Tonight was burger night (again) because “N” loves
them! We paired them with the sweet pap
(with sweetened condensed milk and corn).
We worked on solving addition problems, telling time, spelling, and
reading after dinner and then we played games until bed.
Tomorrow, our social workers will be coming over to go over
what to expect in our process after court.
Then, Thursday is our big day – Gotcha Day! J
Happy almost Thanksgiving everyone!!
Laura and Kevin
