When we got to the orphanage we were asked if we'd like to spend time with Jack outside or in, and so we said, 50-50. As I said, the snow was melting and it was very slushy/dirty but we wanted a little time outside instead of keeping him couped up in the room for the whole two hours. Jack came outside where we were and wasn't very happy with the situation. I don't think he can breath under all of those layers of clothes! We had an ok time outside and he initiated a time of peekaboo (KooKoo). We then went inside and had a much better time out of that stuffy coat and boots that were too big for him. He was much more verbal and more affectionate at times, even though he fussed every once in a while. Over all, the visits are getting better and we're learning more and more how to handle him. We even each got kisses from him, purposefully, so that was a highlight!
After we got back we hung out with Josh and Julie while we ate our nightly dose of ramen noodles. Their court hearing was successful and that was great to hear!
I am looking forward to another great visit with Jack today. We also need to do some shopping for baby food as the weekend is almost here, the part of the week we've all been waiting for!
Below are some pictures of Laundry day. Oh such fun.
Here's a picture of the little nook of a room we're in. I'm standing at the window. There is a desk to the left and a TV to the right but basically, this is it! :)

Sounds like you guys had a good visit. Your hotel room is really small. I am sure you are having lots of fun doing laundry, (not!). When you get Jack on Saturday, where will you put him? Will the hotel provide you a crib for him? How's the shopping for new clothes for him that you have been looking for, have you found what you've been looking for?
My love to the three of you....
I know you are smiling doing the laundry; but I am guessing that was just for the picture. :)
Because, I don’t think washing clothes that way would be fun.
Glad to hear your visits are going better with Jack; the 3 of you are getting to know each other.
I like the photo with Jack’s coat standing on the bed. Also, glad to find out Josh & Julie’s court hearing was successful.
Man...these photos bring back memories!
We made do in that small room once we had Colin and it was just fine. We played in the hotel some and just walked around. The small space didn't seem to stop him from playing and exploring. Good bonding times :)
