march 10

Sorry about not posting yesterday, but we were unable to get a computer yesterday afternoon, and we were too tired after our 2nd visit to go the cafe, so we skipped it.
Today we went shopping and got a few things for his party on Wednesday. We bought some bubbles for the kids to blow, and we are going to pick up some cookies and candy tomorrow along with fruit. We walked a couple of miles into the city with our facilitator, Lena, who comes down from Kiev whenever we need her. Whenever we walk together she slows down for us Americans :) We picked up a few more shirts for Kasey today, but can't find a regular hooded sweatshirt anywhere. He loves to wear hoods. We also got him a new pair of jeans with a lot of pockets. He always has something he needs to put in a pocket :) We were told today that we should not feed him an orange everyday like we have been doing, oranges are not good for them. BLAH!!! Sooo, what did I do? I fed him another orange today. He askes everyday for an orange.
We are just patiently waiting for Wednesday and the party. It's been a long 12 days. It's been raining here for the past couple of days, so we have not been able to take him outside and burn off any energy.
There has been a nice Ukrainian couple visiting another little boy in Kasey's groupa, which is really nice because we were told Ukrainians are not interested in adopting children, only babies. So, that's pretty good for the little boy, who is adorable. He's the one Kasey pushed down the other day. But then Kasey kissed him so all is well. Today Kasey stole a book from Igor, the little boy. When Scott made him give it back Kasey got upset with us and started to cry. Tragic, aint it?
Well, that's it for now.
