I really do apologize for not updating. Things have been so busy! He's been home two weeks this past Wendesday. :)
He has adjusted seamlessly! He came in and as I tucked him in the first night he said, "I DID IT! I'm in my new bed and your hair is red!". He's so excited to be here with all his "brothers and sisters". Seriously I hear the words "brothers and sisters" at least 25 times a day from him.
He is doing so well that I can't even imagine that he just arrived. You'd never know if you came into our house that he has only been here for 17 days! He acts like he's always been here. His foster parents did an awesome job of helping us transition him. He seems to understand everything wonderfully. He hasn't cried or asked to go "home" like I thought was likely to occur. He asked the first night, "I can't go back to my old home again right", but he didn't say it in a sad way. I said "It is very far so we can't go visit, but we can draw pictures or write a letter and I'll take you to put it in the mailbox." His response was, "No, I already did that. I home home now!". He keeps saying "We are all together". It is like God just made his heart all ready for this family.
I'll try to come on and tell you more about all the fun and busy things we've been doing tomorrow. I'll leave you with a picture from the flight.
So glad he is home. Congratulations. Sounds like things are going wonderfully, so happy for you!
