Special Treat

We managed to get a three hour nap before our appointment this afternoon. Although it only felt like 30 minutes, we got up, showered, dressed and went to get our "permission slip". We learned quite bit of interesting news. First, we are the first Down Syndrome adoption in this region. This was news to us, but they were very excited about the possibility of changing the view of DS in this region. They said 9 years ago, Americans started coming here to adopt children with HIV. At the time, no one adopted those children domestically. Now, they do. They are hoping to see the same effect based on our adoption!
Second, Wilson had his heart surgery last year and is doing well. What a blessing!
Thirdly, they said he is starting to speak, he crawls, and can walk while holding someone's hand. And he smiles a lot. I love that! Oh, and I almost forgot his birthday is the same as my uncle's. He must be a very special boy! Well, we already knew that.

But the real treat of the day: PICTURES! (taken last September)

What a doll! I can't wait to meet him in the morning. So, when you wake up Wednesday morning come back and check out the pictures of the three of us together. weeeeeeeeee!!
