Here are some pictures from our UNO games. Valera likes to make sure everyone is comfortable at all times. You can see that he covered Pa up for the game, and brought snacks for each of them.
Isn't he sweet?
Today we played more football, I walked the track at the university while my dad continued to play with Valera. I got another "shot" on the shin and needed some time to recover.
Tonight we met up with the family who is adopting Vladik, and another boy named Dema. I will post pictures tomorrow of that "reunion". Valera was so happy to see his friends. Dema got to leave the orphanage today - it was special to watch Valera interact with his friends, in his language. He was so happy to share candy with them, while Vladik and Dema were dividing their gum amongst the three of them.
There's a lot to learn by watching boys who have grown up together in an orphanage together....it's a brotherly love like no other.
Do you think Valera will hold a "husband" training? I want to be treated like that :) Snacks and a blanket and a good game of Uno! :) He knows a lot about people!!!! I wish our world had his peaceful, caring spirit!
