That is priceless. Your description of your little guy makes me laugh. Our little guy from Shaanxi province was 27 months old and wore a lot of 12 month clothes! He was / is pretty adept at taking things apart and putting them back together. Interesting that both our boys from this province are engineers-in-the-making;) Problem solvers! I can't wait to see a picture (this darn one isn't showing up). I'm SOOOO happy for you!!Troy and Diane Sturgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849443904741504931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421345763657724791.post-35285462735309552842012-09-19T14:41:44.139-07:002012-09-19T14:41:44.139-07:00Wow, so intense.

We were grateful for all the information we did get on that day (not as much as we'd like, of course), but yes, it was exhausting. And L and his white food? I guess comfort food is pretty much the same wherever you go in the world. Gotta love those carbs :) Hope you get some happy times and see at least a little improvement in the coming days and weeks.<br /><br />And...congrats! I don't think I've weighed in since you left Seattle. I know it is mixed emotions all around, but how exciting that you made it to the other side!!!

I know you'll be happy to be able to share the stories with L and what a gift it will be for him, but yikes. What a wrenching and exhausting experience.

But I'm so sorry it happened the way it did. That would have been a really disruptive, emotional, surprising experience for anyone.<br /><br />And darn it, that photo is not coming up right now!
