Together at last!

We met Isaac and Jonah on Sunday; offices were open because they were returning form a 7-day Moon Festival Festival.

The first time we saw the boys, they were looking around and we saw them accidentally! Isaac recognised me and I blew him a kiss. He blew one back. Too much.

Jonah was too busy to notice that we were mama and baba, but he knows now. He said, "Hello, how are you?" Isaac said, "Hi Mom!"

The Mini Coopers we gave them have saved us from many a meltdown. It is the transition toy - even with the batteries out! (Gee, I wonder what happens to the batteries?!)

Jonah is very very busy. When he's smiling, you know he's doing something wrong. This happens quite a bit. Every 30 seconds or so. Quite the "hard ticket." (Much "worse" that previously estimated...!)

Isaac is the real charmer, listens to us and tries to please. Major meltdown on the first night... Poor baby, heartbreaking... Mama cried too of course. But he is doing much better now... He laughs and plays a lot with Jonah. Having Jonah around helps him in his adjustment. Jonah doesn't need anyone! He's too busy to get involved in the emotional stuff! He doesn't appear to know that this is forever, but Isaac knows exactly. Mama can't be far from Isaac or a meltdown could occur. Jonah is baba's boy right now, but both boys knows who we are and play with us.

That's all I'll say for now. Needless to say, the boys are cause for attraction. Nanning people have been wonderful.

Guess who snores? Jonah. Plays hard. Eats and drinks a lot. Sleeps hard. Rough as they come...! No surprise there, eh?!


By the way, Mary Ellen, Isaac is the red car man!
