Most of our group left today or will leave early in the morning...we will be the last to leave on Saturday...this morning we were leaving for breakfast...Joseph wanted to take the stroller...it would be cumbersome to take to the buffet so we did not take it...we had to pick him up and as we were leaving the room he pitched a two year old fit...it continued throught the halls, elevator, dining area and then Mike took him to see the fish but even that didn't pull him out of his crying, mad mode...I saw Lily in the dining room and I asked her if she could talk to him about the stroller and tell him we will get it later...she came to our table...talked to him in Chinese for a minute...he immediately stopped crying....it was like magic....we said "what did you say?"....she said "I tell him Shut up or I will take you back to the orphanage!"....and then she said "just kidding, I told him quit crying, hurry and eat your breakfast so you can go back to your room and you can see your stroller"....it made us realize how frustrating it is for him not to understand...it happened one other time with having to leave a play area...once it is explained in his own language, he is fine....he's definately a smart, logical little guy...

The pictures are of Nonnie, shan and burke leaving...shan and burke worked so hard meeting kids and getting them online...praying for families for these kids....we really enjoyed having nonnie experience this trip with us...she is a trooper traveler...

I love the pictures of Joseph and his "next crib neighbor" Noel, you can tell they are use to playing together through their cribs...they loved peaking at each other through the seats...the picture of the 3 kids was our shopping trip at shamian island...and the last one.......car seats what???? (and he spilled milk, that is why he lost his britches!)....

Loving our time here together and our little man...so much fun...can't wait for everyone to meet our big blessing in a little body!!
