Technical difficulties and Whew!

Well, we have him here with us. Kole laughs a lot, but it is a mean kind of laugh. He likes to
hit and throw toys. Then he laughs about it. If corrected he calms down and gets this
oops look and I don't think I like it here look about him. He really loves animal crackers!
The first night getting him to sleep was a bit rough. He did not want to take of clothes or
shoes. I finally wrestled his shoes off of him and got him tucked in, He was crying and gave
me a left hook to the eye. I continued holding him in bed and rubbing his head lightly
while trying to calm him. 5 minutes later, out like a light. He does not like to go to
bed.

He has managed to create a gun out of legos... I told Boyd that this can not happen back home.
It might make a few people upset. He loves his cars and just chatters all the time in
a local dialect. He was acting up in the cab today ane the cab driver told him to quit or
he would go to jail LOL Well, Kole stopped and began behaving himself. The ab driver said
he is a very naughty boy. This is a whole new experience. He is busier than either of the
girls at this age.

It appears that most of his palate has been repaired. He is missing a tooth so therefore his
gumline was affected. It doesn't appear like there is a lot to fix or finish up.
We are not sure when the palate was done.

We have felt cut off from the girls and friends back home. Half the time the internet works
and the other half it doesn't.
The phone card our guide purchased for us is all in mandarin and we can not understand it.
We are going to have her try it again when she returns. So maybe she will have it all figured
out for us. When we get to Guangzhou it will be easier because more people speak English there.

In Kunming it appears there are several dialects. Kole speaks one of them. The cab drivers can
understand him and some of the hotel personnel. Mary can not. She tries. We just love her!

Today was the adoption finalization. We had our picture taken. I ahve a lot of pictures, I just
can't seem to get them downloaded. As soon as I can I will. I know everyone is disappointed.
Guess that was something I did not get tested out thoroughly before we left. Worked on
my PC just fine...

Update: Finally got the calling card to work. Yeah! Heard about the tornado warnings in the area.... How awful!

O.k.. Kole is a handful. We spend a lot of effort trying to get our point across
and chooses not to listen. HE is happy most of the time.

I will get pictures up as soon as I can!
