Our first few days together have been pretty good! We passed court on Friday and got to bring the boys back to our guest house since we are staying until Embassy. Isaiah was very excited to leave with us. When the AWAA employee came to tell us we passed court, they told Isaiah in Amharic to make sure he understood. He gave the biggest fist pump with a “Yeaaaah!” Kaleb of course has no idea whats going on, but he LOVED the car ride to the guest house. He was silent and sat still staring out the window soaking it all in. We gave the boys baths and we had to go buy Isaiah some new shoes. Isaiah wasn’t quite sure what to do in the shower and Kaleb wasn’t too sure of the bath either. Brad helped Isaiah with the shower and I tried to teach Kaleb how to splash in the bathtub. Kaleb hated the water over his face and wasn’t interested in splashing at all.
As we were pulling away from the TH with the boys, I realized that I didn’t ask when Kaleb eats or takes a bottle or how much or often. So I’m trying to figure it out on our own, ha! So far the boys schedule has been the same, and Kaleb seems OK with that. Both Kaleb and Jacob are taking 3 bottles a day and eating 3 meals. Kaleb acts like the world might end if he doesn’t get a snack within 5 minutes of waking up in the morning too. He has the longest arms and can reach everything. He can reach up on the kitchen counters and everywhere else that we don’t want him to, lol!
Today, Isaiah has really come out of his shell. He is laughing, and joking around a lot. He is so good with Jacob and Kaleb. He makes them laugh all the time. It’s such a sweet sound hearing my 3 sons belly laugh!! It’s great to see all three boys get more and more comfortable each day. God’s healing hand is on each of their hearts, we are so thankful for that.
We are looking forward to many more family days as we are getting to know each other and our new normal!
