Second meeting with Kai

Today was our second meeting with Kai. The visit was great! We arrived at the RC just before 10am and took the elevator up to the 3rd floor. Directly in front of the elevator is the room Kai is living in. We dropped our packages next to the door and looked in the window. We didn’t see Kai right way, but then noticed him walking across the room from the other side. He sat down and looked up at the door. We all waved and he waved back. Not sure if he recognized us or if he was really waving to us at all, but that is what we are going to say:)

We knocked on the door and one of the caregivers let us in. We slowly walked into the room and I sat down across from where he was sitting. He gave me a really long stare, and then moved to the other side of the room…but no tears. YAY!!! He noticed Lydia and started smiling right away. She gave him a toy that mamaw Marcy bought for him awhile back that she has slept with to keep it safe for Kai. He loved his little turtle. He held it for the longest time, squeezing his poor little head off.

He warmed up fairly quickly today and even let us hold him a lot more. He is a chunk, very solid. He still likes his big sister the best, but for some reason today she didn’t’ want much to do with him. I think she was too busy playing with all of the toys. He LOVES cameras…fits right into the family doesn’t he? Every time we clicked a picture, he would come walking over to us to try and take it.

Towards the end of our visit, I through him up in the air and would tickle his belly. He let out the cutest little giggles. He was so full of smiles today too. So glad our visit went so well today. Really put big smiles on our faces today.

The next time we see that sweet boy he will be ours forever…Can’t wait!












I will try to post some video tomorrow!
