Gotcha Day

Hello all! Sorry it is taking me this long to post anything. We have been crazy busy hanging out with our little boy. Our Gotcha moment was pretty smooth. Longji showed up in his pajamas we sent in one of his care packages. Apparently the nanny who dressed him yesterday morning did not realize they were pj's. We received a book and cd along with a gift from the orphanage and Longji's American teacher sent a letter with tons of school work. Priceless! He did get a little upset when the nanny said goodbye, but he fought back tears the whole way back to the hotel. He was trying to be brave. We went to dinner at Lucy's and then tried to settle down for bed. Poor thing had an upset tummy and we ended up cleaning up a mess around 8:00pm. I think it was a combination of no nap, too much food and candy, and too much excitement. He did sleep between John and I. Before turning off the lights he took off my glasses, folded them up and put them on the nightstand next to the bed. I about lost it. He is very bright and he does know a lot of English. Last night at Lucy's he saw a picture of a motorcycle and named it! We were in shock. This morning we are heading back to the Civil Affairs office to complete our paperwork. Yesterday there were about 60 families there. It was chaos! Hopefully it won't be as crowded today. Then we are headed to buy some clothes. Everything we brought is way too big. He can't take a step without his pants falling off so we have to take turns carrying him. I will include pictures, but in no particular order because I am not sure how to. I will say this, I feel like God has prepared his heart for us because this has been really very easy so far. Praise God!
