other updates and further guessing

Today we had our embassey visit that we were lead to imagine was some sort of ardrous ordeal involving checking our paperwork (that we brought along a portfolio of)being asked questions and in general something to get past quickly and efficently. This we did because once we paid our VISA fees, Steve signed two documents and declared that "yes the info you have in true as far as we know" - done. I walked back to the chairs surprised and relieved as I felt sure our paperwork won't be in order. We were there with a woman from SC who is adopting a 5 month old baby girl. We all took silly pics in front of the American flag and left. Kino was quite sedate as we decided to do our test dose of Benadryl just prior to leaving as it was his nap time and boy was he wound up. (The trip to the temple this am afforded him his first open spaces to run and boy did he with great delight and smiles galore. He also met a 3 yr old boy who played with him for a bit under the direction of his grandmother who washed both sets of hands and pulled up the pants and shorts of each boy so they rested under their armpits :) before allowing them playtime.)

Loves to run can be added to the Kino list of discoveries. Also takes great pleasure in lifting heavy objects - for example 1.5 liter bottles of water - he can lift them onto the bed and then of course throw them on the floor. Strong little dude. (Seeing him do that reminds me of a Steve photo when he was a bit younger on the farm carrying a milk can down the lane.) Hasn't figured out how to wear his Diego backpack but hauls it around and smiled when I showed him how I wear mine. Soon...

At any rate he was at full bore 2.5 year old antics so it seemed a grand time to see if the benadryl would be a success (for the flight home) or if it would cause the opposite effect. Thankfully it has had the desired reaction. Course it is now almost 5:30 and he's still out...

My cold - caught I'm sure on the flight here progresses -should be fully a pain in the neck by the time we fly back - guess I'll be passing on the favor...



SO there was a request to continue to guessing game and here is the clue - Kino's second English word is one we all use daily - work, play, home, phone everywhere. Guess what it is??
