He let me hold him through this but mainly because he wanted me to take him out the door to find his ayi. He noticed immediately and his grief was palatable. It helped us later when we skyped with the family, you could tell he remembered the pictures and couldn't take his eyes off Jonah and Kayla for a bit. She was showing him the picture sheet we sent and going through the family members with him in Chinese. We went through last minute logistics like the milk he drinks and diaper sizes with hand gestures and charades since the guide was busy with other families' paperwork. But eventually he let both me and Bobby feed him a couple. We had some little apple puffs that at first he would take from us and give to his ayi to feed it to him. He even gave us hugs and kisses on the cheek. He played with us while his ayi was there.dancing, reading, rolling the truck. He had a little scrape on his nose that is a surefire giveaway that he's all boy.
He looked happy and content, so I assume his train ride from Beijing (where he lived at the Morning Star home) went smoothly. We saw Luke immediately but had to wait for his name to be called to go to him. Some of the children and ayis (nannies) had already arrived. One family wouldn't receive their child until later in the afternoon and they were kind enough to come with the other families and video. Emotions were running high for everyone on the bus ride over. We left for the govt office around 10am on Monday where the official guardianship transfer would take place.
