W's January Update...plus pics!

We were thrilled to receive our bi-monthly update from W's creche today.  Our agency coordinator is so awesome--she never waits until Monday to send it, but emails it to us as soon as she gets it!

W's Update:

W has such a big personality that is shining brighter every day! W is really self-sufficient and knows how to entertain himself when others aren't there to keep him busy. He loves to draw and is getting better at it every day. His favorite things to draw are cars and big trucks, or sunglasses. His pictures are always for his mom. His face lights up every time he talks about his family.  {Oh, my happy heart!}  He is very independent and not easily influenced by others. He really seems to stand strong for himself and makes decisions independent of what others want from him. {You go, boy!}  However, he does like to make others smile and is very silly with his friends. He can be very shy at first when meeting strangers but warms up very quickly. W is so smart and focused in everything he does. He is cooperative and is learning to follow the rules very well. He can be demanding at times with people he is comfortable with, but is usually very cooperative and patient. W is so excited about having a family who loves him.  {Yay!!}

Aren't these photos amazing?!  Well, okay, you can't actually see his face, but trust me, he looks amazing!

And another SUPER HAPPY bit of news to share with you--  We have some friends that are also adopting from W's creche and they were kind enough to take photos and a video of him this week!!  The video is of him saying Hi to his mama (me!) and saying he misses me and can't wait to meet me.

(insert big cheesy grin here)

Also, my girlfriend used her iPad to show him some pics of me on facebook.  As soon as he saw my face, he started dancing around and saying, "My mom!"

Oh goodness.  Too much.  Can I buy a plane ticket NOW and be in Haiti by morning??!
