What a day! I am in heaven! Joey is amazing! We arrived this morning and met with Karla and Yoli in the lobby at 3:30pm. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever seen watching Yoli leave this baby that she loves like her own. She has been such a blessing to us and Joey and we will forever be grateful to her. The goodbye took almost two hours, but we really did not want to rush her and it was clear that Joey had some stranger anxiety so we all took our time. When it was time for her to go, she kissed him, told him she loved him and left with her family. John and I were left in the baby lounge with Joey unsure of how he would react to her departure. What a champ! He had a few moments of tears, but other than that has been a HAPPY and SMILING little boy!!!!
He is walking, actually he is practically running :) but he still loves to hold a hand for reassurance. He says a few words in spanish like hola, gracias, adios and get this...HE SAYS GOAL (I think someone has been watching a lot of soccer). Needless to say our friend Ivan now has alittle buddy to watch soccer with! He even pumps his arm in the air when he says it. John and I just crack up laughing.
So tomorrow morning is our appointment at the embassy so i am off to bed! I will post pics tomorrow when we get back to the hotel.
Love a very happy mommy,
