He's also a charmer. He's also told whoever might be listening that his mama is very pretty, that he wants to be a good son, that he is happy being with us, and that he wants to please us. So that's why say he's a charmer. It's either that, or the Bethany-hired guide is really good at creative translation!
Today he bounced frequently from his tornadic events to several quiet moments of contented play by himself, with Play-Doh, the doodler, or the camera.
There's much more to say that I will surely try to do over the next several days. But for now, I'm afraid the 9 hours of sleep I've gotten since Saturday morning are rendering my intellect fairly jumbled.

He's very cute and he does look like a livewire in the pictures. Sounds like Josie and Seth are going to have lots of fun together! We rejoice with you and continue to pray for you. the Mausers
ReplyDeleteSounds like his personality might be similar to his cousin! Oh boy...I'll order you a copy of "Raising your spirited child". But better to have a child you need to reign in than one you need to light a fire under! You'll forgive me while I laugh in a loving, misery loves company sort of way. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe date was even a good number....and will forever make you the most-favored child with mom.
So glad for all of you...and can't wait to meet him. So excited that he is actually part of our family now!
Love,
Heather
YEA! So happy for you all. The pictures are great! We'll be praying you get some very well deserved sleep!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so Seth and Will are off to camp every summer, right? So glad he is an active one to keep up w/Josie and all his cousins! And he was so dressed up w/long sleeves and pants, right? :) Love to all of you!
ReplyDeleteWe've got a couple that like to bolt in traffic and crowded situations too! They can be little live wires. Can totally relate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little man. So happy for you guys!
Love,
K. Sanford (for all of us)
Well he will fit right in on Lofton Court. The pictures are awesome, brought tears to my eyes. We are so happy for you guys! He is cute little guy...Brent said he can't wait to play soccer with him and to have a boy to finally play with!!! Josie, Erin and Brent can't wait to hear all about your trip!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day, now that you are finally together as a family. Looking forward to meeting Seth! (I'll have to ask my mom what "tornado" is in Chinese. :-) Get some rest!
ReplyDeleteWe are delighted to see your family together at last! The pictures show a beautiful and enthusiastic son. We are excited to meet Seth and to celebrate his homecoming with you! Still praying for y'all, the Hoyle's
ReplyDeleteWhat did he think about the toothbrush? :)
ReplyDeleteHope you all got some sleep and perhaps get some naps in too.

How exciting! He is a charmer! God's blessings on you all!! The Harmon's
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the little guy. You all were right it was hard to see the resemblance from the first pictures until now. He is such a happy little fellow and will fit right into your family..energy and all;-) We send our love to you all..enjoy these days in China as they will go by quickly. Penny & Ray
ReplyDeleteHis mama is very pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteI watched this nature documentary once on the "cuteness factor" discussing how baby animals are all so cute so that their parents don't eat them...I imagine that charm will save this cutie's little life in the future! ;)
He is just so excited because he has a fantastic new family!!!! steph
