We went exploring. After getting inaccurate directions in the hotel lobby we headed to the park. We soon figured out the directions were wrong and went our own way. Fortunately we still made it there.
Zachary and Caleb had fun when we arrived. Tried to get the boys to eat some ice cream but they weren't interested. Debi, Zachary, and I enjoyed the nutty buddy like ice cream instead.
Caleb appears to be the dominant twin. He is having a much easier time.
He can be very funny. His trick is he can blow his nose by holding his nose closed. Glad Zachary got to deal with that one. Caleb is our eater. He is more willing to try new things and eats a lot!
Jacob is having a much more difficult time. When he is upset he wants to be held and you have to be standing up. Which has been pretty much the whole time. Until last night we haven 't seen much of who he really is. I have a feeling he was more attached to his caregivers than Caleb.
Right before dinner Jacob's attitude started to change. He ate a lot for dinner and his playful side came out. We decided to give the boys a bath . Before the boys have been too upset. We were pleasantly surprised. They both loved it. Caleb was ready to get out first but they both had fun.
After their baths the boys really started opening up. They explored the room for the first time and were even venturing over to other room. They played with toys they had previously rejected. Caleb gave me a kiss on the check. They were playing with Aunt Debi too. She introduced a comb to them and they thought it was the best toy ever.
They still will only sleep on the floor. Jacob will let Zachary play with him on the bed until Caleb makes him get off. It will come with time.
I have no rants today. Just praising God for the glimpses of what is yet to come. These boys are going to bless our lives in more ways than we can possibly imagine.
If you wonder why I blog so much it is because I sleep very little when we are in China. Third time here and it has been the same every time. It also helps me process the day.
Have some great photos just can't get them on my IPhone to post. Still can't get the VPN to work on my computer.
Here are a few from my phone . You may wonder why Zachary is in a crib . He is trying to convince his brothers it is a cool place to be.
Love the happy faces. :) When we adopted our twins, one was so easy going and one grieved hard-he was tough in country. Over the past few years, the one who grieved has been so much easier in general- I also think he had more of an attachment to someone. The one who was happy as could be we have had more struggles with emotions.
