Such a great day
Oscar and I had a playdate in Sausalito with friends we met in Vietnam, S and her son BT. Such a handsome little boy, and he’s just the sweetest. When we left, he leaned over and kissed Oscar goodbye. Too cute! Oscar reciprocated, which shocked me, as he hasn’t been the most gentle of kids lately.
We hung out and did the playdate stuff, sharing toys, playing at the park, etc. The extra cool part was that we took a walk on the Bay (S lives directly on the water – rough life) and saw ducks and seven deer just feet away from us. Add this to the fact that the drive from our house in SF up there takes us through areas that people actual visit on vacation and it was just a great day.
Game on
I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself. Just ten days in and I’ve managed to pick a country, contact my homestudy agency about an update, fill out my I-600a, pull together almost all of its supporting docs and choose a placement agency. Last time, these things took me weeks and weeks to do (ok, months). I guess all of the agency debates while I was adopting Oscar were put to some use, since I was able to knock many of the agencies off my list almost automatically. Now, I’m off to work on my dossier and pull together a few docs for my homestudy update. Maybe this is easier the second time around.
