Busy Boys

I need to recant a statement I made after I brought home Zeb and we settled in. I said give me a dozen boys they are so much easier than girls. Well we are in the wow this is the world phase with Zac. To say he is busy is an understatement. He is very very busy and very curious about everything. He is keeping Mark and I on our toes. We bought some chinese legos yesterday for him to try out. Well Mark went to the bank and I was checking emails and Zac was playing and looking out the window of our 4th floor hotel room. Lets just say the legos are gone and the people on the street below will forever wonder how little legos got in their hair. Well we will never tell. He is also very fond of the breakfast attendants. We changed restaraunts after yesterday when he would sit at the table and cat call the poor girl who chose the name kitty. Here kitty kitty some cantonese phrases we don't know and they wouldn't tell us with the hand motions of come on baby come here. He wants to tuch everyone and everything we see on the streets. He is a very happy little guy he is smart and curious. He will only give kisses for cheesecake. He only eats rice noodles pizza and eggs. Oh and cheesecake. He is very bright and very bold. He will be heard and tries very hard to get his way every time. I Love this little man and can't wait to get him home where he can play and get into a much needed schedule. It is so hard to parent a child from a hotel room in a country half way around the world.
Yesterday we applied for Zacs passport and he was very scared and cried and cried. Poor child thought he was once again being uprooted. He clung to me and cried and cried. I hope he figures it out by the next trip out with Connie he is not going anywhere. He is stuck with us and nothing he does will make us give him back or away! I Love this little clown and can't wait to take him home to his brother and sister!
Tommorrow we go over paperwork and thur is a trip to White Cloud Mtn and the toy market.
