Gotch Day

Today is the day we went to pick up Mason!!
We met Mason in the mid afternoon.  He was very calm and did everything people told him.  The building we went to was very stuffy with other families there as well picking up their children.  Mason's nanny was very helpful in answering our questions as best as she could.  We showed the nanny the sign for mom & dad.  Mason knew the sign for mom & dad in Chinese sign language so she translated it to ASL.  He picked up on it right away.  We also taught him the sign for bathroom and thankfully he picked up on that right away as well.  He instantly took to the ipad and played it almost nonstop for several days.  We would only leave it in the room for him to play and not take it when we travel to different appointments. We took him out to dinner that night and he ate more than Alan & I.  He catches on to things very quickly and remembers things only after seeing it one time. Bedtime that night went well and he slept all night.
