Our morning began with Chris and I laying around waiting for Richard to wake up. We were told he typically wakes around 6am, but this morning he slept until 8! It was nice to get some extra sleep, but we were so ready for him to get up so we could have fun!
After breakfast, we went to the playground before our embassy appointment. Richard was nervous about going up after being scared yesterday, so he asked Chris to join him (calling him appa -dad in Korean- for the first time).
Can I just say Richard has got to be one of the most laid back kids out there? He does great with anything we do. We spent close to 2 hours going through the subway and walking around the streets of Seoul before our visa appointment, and he was always happy. Our appointment went well, and we were done in about 1.5 hours. It was nice to chat with other families there while waiting. After our appointment, we took the subway to Elie's favorite restaurant in Seoul - a noodle place we stumbled upon last time when we were shopping. He definitely approved of it!
Tonight was our first time to hear him cry. His foster mother described (in great detail) how she washes his hair, but he was having none of it. A little snuggle later, nthough, and he acted like nothing ever happened. We played a few attachment games before bed. He loves brushing his teeth, so we build that into a game for him.
This sticker book was a hit, and he would repeat several words in English when I would say them (purple, pink, car, bug, circle). Bedtime was super easy again tonight, and we pray that continues once he is home.
Tomorrow will be our last full day on Seoul. We have fun things planned, and hopefully the day will be filled with love and laughter as it was today!
