Damage Control:

I am on my way to help Chris Mott do a little damage control! Her bag with Lice Killing Shampoo didn't make it to Addis yet and I just happened to bring an extra bottle. So we are going to rid her children of bugs and make sure they don't invest the rest of them. I can't wait to see them and meet them face to face. The last time I saw Sofonyas he just sat with me holding my hand during a coffee ceremony. He had had a hard night because Yonotan had left the day before and Minte a week before so he was sad and didn't rest well. Finally he got to meet his family this morning!
Minte is so sweet and funny. He makes silly jokes and really hasn't done much pouting. If he starts pouting we figure out what caused the problem and we tell him we are sorry and give him hugs and kisses and he is fine after that. I think he just wants us to recognize that something is wrong since he can't fully verbalize it yet. He minds really well and usually has a really upbeat, positive attitude. OH! He is wearing shorts. This may not seem like much to most of you but Grace and Gina, you realize that this is unusual for an Ethiopian boy. I think he likes dressing like Aiden. We call them the twins when they are wearing outfits that are similar! It is funny, at least the Ethiopians think it is when I say it!
I also wanted to say thanks for all of you comments on our blog. They make me feel great and help get me through each day. Thanks for checking in on us and showing your support. Even though I am surrounded by loads of people I am still lonely. I love you guys!
Blessings, Jaclyn
