Kai Wei was singing in the car on the way to church this morning, "Mommy shi (is) Mommy, Daddy shi Daddy, Annie shi Annie". . . naming all of us in turn. Pretty cute. We went to the Chinese church today, and, despite the fact that he could understand what was going on around him again, it did not rank on Kai Wei's list of favorite things. As soon as the sermon was over he stood up and said, "ok. Bye bye!" He was quite disappointed it was not time to leave yet.
This afternoon he decided he could be friends with Java. He started by playing with him from a distance, watching as Java chased his last balloon. Later, when we were eating pop-corn, he would hold a piece up to the glass door when Java was shut ont eh other side. Java would go crazy, barking, pawing at the popcorn and biting the glass. He kept trying to get the popcorn, even though it was obvioulsy on the other side. By bedtime he was comfortable walking right up to Java and petting him.

I've been following your blogs on and off and I'm very glad for you that you've finally brought back Kai Wei to be with the family after years of planning and praying. I hope that when Wai Wei grows older in the near future, he can truly appreciate what the family has gone through for him. All the thoughts and love and all.
It's my privilege to finally meet Kai Wai in person today at the church, although it was rather cursory as he was so active and constantly moved around. Sitting right behind him, I saw his every move during the service. Yes indeed, as soon as the pastor finishes his sermon, Kai Wei stood up and was ready to leave. It was so funny. It's also encouraging that he tried to locate the scriptures in the Bible.
As is with any relationship, there is going to be ups and downs. I pray that there will be a lot more ups than downs, and that it will be loving and fulfilling for everyone in the family. This is a great beginning.
Too funny. This reminds be of a story my parents tell me...after the priest said.."mass is over, go in peace"...I yelled out loud for the congregation to hear "Yay!! IT's OVER!!"
