I guess I should post an update since we have had a little activity since our last post. We were so excited to skype with "Percy" and see and talk with him for the first time. Our Skype date was the morning of December 24th his time (they are 15 hours ahead of us). It took him a little bit to get warmed up and figure out what was going on, the caretakers on his side had him put some colored blocks on some pegs and we were surprised that he knew all the colors in English. They gave him some paper and crayons and as he would draw he would hold up the crayon to the camera to show us. He was very quiet and followed the directions of the caretakers very well. They gave him some cookies and a drink, he wanted more :). They had him say "I love you Momma, I love you pappa, and Merry Christmas" in English. They tried to get him to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star but he only wanted them to help him with the arm movements and he thought that was funny. We were having so much fun and didn't want to miss anything that I forgot to take his picture while we were talking with him. Dean recorded some video of the beginning of our visit on his phone. After the skype visit there was a hearing scheduled in his country, we are still waiting for translations and to find out how that went. We are keeping our fingers crosses and saying our prayers that things will get finalized soon. We have another skype appointment on January 29th that we are looking forward to but in the meantime, the waiting continues............
