Medical Exam

This morning, after a very long sleep, Drew seemed ready to go. However, we had to stay in the hotel room and do paperwork with the guide. We also convinced him to try on some more clothes we brought him. He definitely will tell you if he likes something or not. The guide was able to interpret what Drew was saying while we were finishing up our Skype conversation with Tara. He told her that he has some glasses that she doesn't have. (We bought him some sunglasses.) He asked where TJ was. We told him that Tara has been at dance class and he asked if she was still dancing now while she was talking to us. While I was doing paperwork, he said that his Mom was the best at paperwork. He also said that his Mom was perfect. That was so nice to hear. I think he knows already who he should butter up.

We went to get his passport photos and he was laughing and talking with our guide and the man in the office. Boy was he wound up. Then we did the medical exam and he cooperated nicely. He was 42.5 pounds and 45 inches tall. We also were given his immunization records from the orphanage.

Looks like everything is moving along just as it should. I showed Jadon your blog this morning and he wasn't sure what to think. We've found that some things are easier once we returned home. Some things more difficult...about what you'd expect.
