Lately John has been saying "I know... (something)" a lot. Like "I know (how to push the button on the microwave)", etc... And I say yes, you know a lot of things. Speaking of microwaves, he likes to push the "Cup" button (which is set to warm up a cup of coffee or something) or the "Potato" button, which cooks a potato. He likes to say "push cup", or now "push potato". He loves to push buttons that make things start up, like the microwave or the dryer.
Before church on Sunday, Rhonda went through the car wash with John, and apparently the loud noise of the water whooshing against the windows scared him, cuz he started to cry. And he's been talking about it ever since. We'll ask him about the car wash, or he'll even bring it up by himself, and he'll say things like "car wash...water...noisy...scare you".
The nursery worker on Sunday said John was saying "mine mine". Yeah, he's kinda been in that stage. I asked him about it, and he said "mine mine..let go...can't have it", so he must have remembered squabbling about something!
Rhonda talked to Deb yesterday, and she had just gotten a video of a little girl in Russia, and Rhonda went over and picked it up. She was born Sept 8, 2001 (the day we left to go see John for the first time). Her name is Snezhana, which I think Deb said means "snow (snez) maiden (hana)". She is in Kostroma, which is NE of Moscow, so we'd have to drive there, about a 4 hour drive they said. (It would be fun to drive through the Russian countryside and see what it looks like, rather than fly over it at 30000 feet.) The video was taken in January, and she was already walking, (she was always holding on to a worker's finger though) and her legs looked fairly chunky, much more so than John looked when we first saw him (and John wasn't walking then either by a long shot). In the video she was looking around intently, but didn't want to play with the toys they gave her. Maybe it was a strange setting for her, just her in the room with someone filming etc... so she just studied it all, kind of cried or whimpered a couple times. The video clip was about 6 minutes. We only had 2 or 3 minutes of John.
I don't know why we wouldn't take her, so assuming all went according to plan, we'd probably bring her home. Our first trip could probably be mid-March, with the second trip some time in April. Ramsey said he might be able to get some still shots of the video tape, and I'll get those posted to the web site so you can see. Her hair was light colored, but real short, a lot like John's was when we got him.
We were briefly talking about names, and thought about maybe Hanna, to keep part of her name. I wonder if we'd end up nicknaming her "Sneezie"!
And, we got a mysterious email from Nick! Wow, that was a surprise! It seems the "s" in Pearsons will now mean 5 instead of 4!
