Hi folks - I thought I'd at least take the time to post some updates that have been on email from Josie and my Mom. That way, you get a little more objectivity (but not much). We're doing good today - Hai's fever is down and he seems happy and content to hang out with Josie, Jaap and me. Love to all! Melissa
Josie's Update:
Hi all
Apparently later tonight I am going to be bestowed with the highest honor of helping Mel blog but in case we get sidetracked again, here’s a brief update and some Kodak moments.
Hai is fan-bloody-tastic. He’s a really placid, happy little boy. Loves a cuddle. Talk about long, he’s going to be a tall -- watch out Yao Ming and hellloooo Nike. He knows “mae” (pronounced “may”) which is ‘mum’ in Vietnamese. He probably doesn’t know what it means but it gets him instant attention and so being the smart lad that he is, he’s sticking to it. He is such a boy: loves the television, falls asleep with a bottle in his mouth, has all the girls swooning over him, is a breast man and is quite happy sleeping on the floor after a big day. Mel is doing a fab job with him. All the years of her functioning on very little sleep due to a wicked social life have come in handy. I think I failed support person 101, however, when I slept through him crying last night, but she was onto it. [I have been trying to redeem myself with expert management of the washing machine, food and beverage procurement and bottle boiling]. Mel has a real way with him. If she puts him down, he has a little grizzle until she picks him up again. If she leaves the room he starts looking for her. It’s been a lot easier because Maria did a tremendous job in getting the apartment infrastructure set up and getting the mum machine cranked up.
He’s a little but under the weather today. An ear ache and slight fever has us down at the international medical clinic, nothing serious and it was nice to meet the staff, all very nice and world-class. We think they’ll become our new best friends. Later in the day, Mel and Hai went to the US embassy for the interview which apparently went well. The pic of him with the hat attached is them setting off. The others are of him napping and enjoying is “ba-ba” (bottle).
Side note for those who were in Hong Kong . The restaurant in the Hotel building is “Jaspas”, the same one that was on Staunton Street in Hong Kong . The menu hasn’t changed in 7 years. Yummo.
Must go. Much love to all...
