Happy Days Are Here Again






We had a much better day today. From the minute he was brought into the room, Wyatt was full of smiles. Was it because we saw him yesterday? Was it because his clothes matched? Was it because he wasn’t dressed like it was 20 below? Or was it because we were in the playroom with no indication that we would go outside? Whatever it was, we don’t care…our boy was back!
We played the entire two hours today...going from the ball pit to the blow up trampoline, to his toys on the floor, to the tambourine (Robers’ girls, that’s a tribute to you!!!); he was a mover and a shaker. He’s beginning to imitate us more and blowing raspberries is the new cool thing to do. There is one new behavior that has been consistent for the past 2 days…crying when we change his diaper. We’re not exactly sure why he does this all of a sudden, but we think it may be due to the fact that he doesn’t want to lie down and stay still for those few minutes. And, the new parents are exactly the speediest of all diaper changers.
After the baby house, we walked to Camobar (the Russian Café). Jason stuck with his old faithful goulash and chicken pancakes, while Michelle branched out and tried the chicken stewed with fresh veggies and rice. It was another tasty lunch, as it always is there. After lunch we headed to Astana Market to pick up some groceries, you know, the typical pop, oatmeal and milk that expires next year. We headed to the deli and were trilled to see that we could by the noodles that are in the Lagman soup that we love. We bought a package and will be experimenting with those tomorrow.
Tonight we’re lying low, watching some TV and cooking some spaghetti at the apartment. Looking forward to tomorrow…our last day of the official bonding period.
