A brief glimpse of Alex in China

A mom who visited Alex's orphanage while adopting her daughter was kind enough to ask to meet Alex. She sent me a few brief videos!

Unfortunately they woke him from a nap (good to know he still takes naps; we will make sure our days include some afternoon down time) and brought him into a room full of strangers. The result was a very shy little boy who had nothing to say, even when they encouraged him to talk. The mom told me that her camera battery ran out, and THEN he woke up and started having fun. Of course!

We also got a few more nuggets of information from her. She said he enjoyed doing a craft project, making something out of foam shapes. Her daughter told her that he likes little toy cars -- oh, and that he does NOT like to share. Not surprising when he was raised in an orphanage where no kid has anything to call his own, but good to know.

Anyway, here is the new video of our silent little Alex!

  1. Did I send the one of him doing the craft project? If you see my daughter and the other girl in the beginning, he's in that one, too. If I didn't send that one, let me know and I'll send it.
