Day 3 of seeing Dylan and it went really well. It’s really a difference from day 1 and he’s slowly getting more used to us. We play a game with him as I hold him he runs to Fil and then Fil grabs him and he runs back to me. But the best part is when he reaches us he cracks up of laughter, tooo cute!!! We did that about 5 times and he was dead tired and fell asleep. He’s not used to so much physical activity because it really drained him. The caregivers don’t want him to sleep because they have a schedule to follow and it will disrupt all his rest of the day. At 1st I could not understand why they insisted that the children in the 2 hour bonding period do not fall asleep but now I totally understand because if he’s awake while the others are taking their nap he will wake them up and disrupt everyone’s schedule. But it’s still very difficult not to make him sleep when all he wants to do is sleep. We were holding him standing up and he still would fall asleep. So we made him sleep for about 15 minutes and woke him up before someone came in.
After lunch we went to the internet café but it was really slow and everything is in Russian and we could not make anything work so we then went for a beer at a restaurant, 2 huge beers and a coffee $2.00, what a bargain!!!! Later that evening the owner of the house came by with his 3 kids and brought us a fairly new computer and we finally have internet. We are still having problems getting in our blog. We had a real good laugh trying to communicate with each other.

The owner of the house and his kids ARE SUPER SUPER NICE!!!! He then asked Fil if he horse back rides and Fil said yes and he then told us he would pick us up at 2:00 the following day to take us to his farm where he has his horses.
