Seth Arrived late last night, made it to the hotel about 1:45 am. He & Isaiah have had a blast together. Isaiah woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever from all his shots yesterday & heard Seth snoring & looked at him & then looked at us & back at Seth as if to say, "Are you guys not worried about this joker sleeping beside me?" But, when we all awoke this morning, they hit it off from the beginning & haven't stopped playing & having fun. It's so good to see them bond since Seth won't see his little brother again, at least in person, for probably a year. I'm so glad they get to have this time to get to know each other. Hopefully, Isaiah will remember this time when he talks to his Ge Ge (big brother) on the Skype regularly.
I'm sure he's still grieving & will continue to do so for a while, but he seems to know we're his parents & is doing phenomenal. He is beginning to mimic almost everything we do & say. About the only time he cries now is at nap time...he hates nap time, like most other 2 year old boys I know.
I know that God has answered many prayers for his emotional & psychological health during this transition. We're literally amazed at how he's doing. He hasn't had a sad cry in over two days now. I know there will probably be more to come, but for now, he seems to be OK with his new family. I can't wait for him to meet his sisters who are eagerly awaiting his arrival in the US to "teach him all the things," as Jadyn says.
Here some more pics...
The first is of him sleeping on Amy's lap on the van ride to the airport in Changsha.
The second is the view out of our hotel window.
The third is the lobby in our hotel.
The next two are of Isaiah in his stroller as we're heading out to see the sights this morning & the last is he & Seth.
