Today has been a great day but very long. We arrived at the adoption home this morning. We brought what they asked us to bring, cake, balloons and candy. When we got there they asked us to decorate the entire room. We also had to run out and buy forks, Cola (the kids drink that and coffee like it is water) and plates. Apparently, they were not going to help us at all with the fiesta.
When the kids saw us they immediately ran up to us and gave us hugs. We spent about an hour at the adoption home being supervised trying to play with the kids and communicate with them. Then all of the sudden the social workers said good and handed us our temporary custody papers.
The kids have warmed up to us very quickly so far. L is quite the chatty patty and want to please. B is a bit more quiet and does not warm up as quickly. The hotel is 10 floors and they are quite impressed with the elevator. We also took them to McDonalds for lunch and got them each a happy meal. They ran around in pleasure that they got a happy meal toy. After lunch we burned some of their Coke Cola energy off at the McDonalds playcenter. Then B so gracially told us L had Po Po'd..off we raced back to the hotel for bath's and clean up. We don't think they have ever taken a bath because they each did not understand they should sit in the tub. The water was quite dirty for both of them and B had blast spashing in the water once he figured it out.
They are both very very tiny and thin, B especially. All of his clothes we brought are going to be way to big for him. You can tell they were both malnourished which is quite sad but they are very happy kids. I will have John post some pictures later. We can't post pictures of their faces yet.
