We met Audie Monday morning and he was sweet as pie. He ran around, played with his sisters and talked to me occasionally calling me Mama. When all the paperwork was done and his Director left, he cried for about 2 minutes. I was shocked at how quickly he turned stopped and went with the flow. He was letting me hold him, smiling and playing with his sisters immediately. He was very attached to his Director, so I was amazed and happy at the same time.
His personality is very sweet, laid back and happy. He does of course have some orphanage behaviors that need assistance, like pinching and hitting, but over all I am shocked at how well is doing. We just returned from visiting his SWI and that was a long day. It was wonderful and sad at the same time, seeing the kids that do not qualify for adoption due to their special needs.
We have never been so happy to have Pizza Hut for dinner!!! Once again, I am not an adventurous eater and neither is Avery. She ate 4 pieces of pizza and Anna ate 3!! Audie ate 2 pieces and seemed impressed! He then ate 10 small oranges, faster than I could peel them. He is sleeping and eating well, he travels well, and loves his sisters. We have amazed everyone that I CAN handle three kids! They all hold hands going down the hall and it is precious!!
My battery is about to die, I will try to post pictures when I can find a way to charge this thing!!
Becky who is very ready to go home!!

Hi Becky! I've been checking in to see how you and the girls and your handsome little guy are doing! Glad to hear that Audi is adjusting well!!! So many changes for these little guys all at once, but it sounds like Audi is transitioning into your beautiful family seemlessly! Can't wait to follow the rest of your journey and to see pictures of your little guy!!!
I'm looking forward to reading about your visit to the Shantou SWI next week! What day are you scheduled to go? Give my darling little girl a big hug and kiss from her Mama and Baba and tell her we're coming as SOON as we can!!! We were DTC as of Jan. 9th!!! Thanks!
