Back in Moscow

It's been a long 2 days but everything is still going well. We had to wake Aaden Tuesday night at 11pm to take the midnight train back to Moscow. We arrived here at 5:30am on Wed. He did well and slept most of the train ride but was a little off yesterday because we couldn't get him back on his sleep schedule after all that. He had a few minor melt downs but who can blame him with so little sleep and his whole world turned upside down. We just hung out in the hotel room yesterday with him and played. He is starting to trust us a lot more now. It is amazing how you can start to see the change in him. When he would get upset yesterday his little lip would quiver and he'd start to wimper, then he'd come to me and sit in my lap and suck his thumb for a minute or two. Then he'd get up and play and be okay again. He had a little more trouble falling asleep yesterday but Michael has the magic touch and was able to sooth him to sleep each time.

The doctor came to the hotel this morning and checked Aaden out for the US Embassy. Everything went fine except he came at 6am so we had to wake Aaden again. Luckily, he fell back asleep on Michael's chest when the doctor left. He does love his sleep ;) It's suppose to be rainy today in Moscow but we are hoping to get outside with him for a little while. There is a park next door to our hotel. Then we have our US Embassy appoint at 2pm Friday and we leave here very early Saturday morning. We can't wait to get home and see everyone!
