Noah is such a big boy now.

We just got back from seeing Noah. It was amazung to see how much he has grown in 5 months. He still looks the same in the face but his hair is a little darker and longer.He still looks like Josh though. They brought him in the same small room that we were in the last time we were here and when he walked in I grabbed in and he just held around my neck so tight that all I could do was tell him that mamma was back and never leaving him again. When I held him it was so perfect, it was exacltly what I imagined it would be and more.God definatly knew what he was doing when he led us to Noah!!!!
It was snowing while we were visiting him and we were letting him look outside of the window, they asked him if he wanted to go outside and he said NO. I figured he knew how cold it was. We were able to try severl outfits on him to make sure everything would fit . His snow shoes and boots fit like a glove. All of the clothes that we tried on him fit, so we were very happy that we don't have to go bey anymore clothes for him. He saw the snow boots in my bag and started taking his shoes off by himself and sat in my lap to get his new shoes on, he is sooo funny. He also can undress himsself and almost redress with a little help from mamma. He called us mamma and daddy the whole time this time so I guess they have been working with him. They also told us that he has been going to speach class and is doing very good. He is still a neat freak but i imagine that will change soon.
Our court time is at 9:30 am on Friday and we will leave there after an hour or so and go pick up Noah for good.Yeah!!! We are going to have to stop on the way to get him to pick up some diapers and some of his favorite foods although he's not very picky, they said that's called orphanage syndrome-they will eat whatever they are given. The social worker at the orphanage said that he is potty trained as long as you take him to the potty 5 times a day and let him sit there, he will not tell you when he needs to go and that's why they left him in diapers. I will be buying him pullups and working with him even more.
As far as the cis paper is concerned , It did come in the mail the day after we left for our trip and my best friend got it out of the mail and overnighted it to our agency.She will then send it to the Moscow Embasssy so it will be there and ready for us when we get back to Moscow.
We will blog shortly after we get Noah to the Hotel with us and let you all know that everything is ok.
Love you all , we'll talk later
