Hanging Out With Our Little Prince:-)

We started off the day today by finishing up the process to officially accept Nathan's referral from the minister of education. With the help of our translator/facilitator, everything went very smoothly, so we were able to get on to the really important business...spending time with our son:-)

When we got to the orphanage, we were allowed to take Nathan around the grounds for a little while. Yesterday, we were watched very closely with him...but today they were much more relaxed. We borrowed a stroller and went on a short stroll...until the wheel fell off, LOL! We sheepishly handed back the stoller after a bit, but they didn't seem upset. Nathan enjoyed the stroller while it lasted. The only other slight complication was the "safety strap" ...which didn't keep my little jello boy from sliding down what seemed like every 30 seconds! Check out his high tech conveyance in this pic:-)

Then we went inside and did what Nathan loves best...the therapy ball. We definitely have get one of these. I think he would play on it 24/7 if someone would let him:-)



Randy encouraged him to stand using his favorite toy...

And any boy can be coaxed to practice his crawling skills if there's a lego bus involved...

Last but not least...one of Nathan's cute little mannerisms. He often has his hands folded like this and even finds a way to do it when he is sucking his thumb and napping:-)
