Joshua is getting more comfortable with us. He is moving beyond being focused on his basic needs of safety, food and shelter and his personality is starting to come through more now. The first night it took both of us to get his bath done, and last night he was fine with Wendy and played in the sink. 
He won't know what to do when he sees all the bath toys to play with at home.
He won't know what to do when he sees all the bath toys to play with at home. We went out to one of the night markets and got some dinner. Other than the socializing that you can do at the market I wasn't that impressed with the level of quality of the stuff. The kid stuff we are looking for was basically dollar store quality stuff. We did find a nice set of bookend figures for a good price. Josh was born in the year of the dog and the figures are nice stylized Chinese dogs. We have also figured out or plan to buy him gifts from here for each of his birthdays till he is 18 is going to be a challenge. You can think of lots of shiny things for girls - like we did for Amber - but not so many things for boys.

AWWWWWWW!!!! :D I'm gonna say it again. HE IS ADORABLE!!!!!!!
Princess Amber is waiting for Prince Joshua to come home. (How can I send you the picture?)
Hi, Kids! He is so darn cute, what a doll! I sort of thought he would be quite thin but he looks great. I'm trying to think of boy gifts, how about some nice cuff links and can you travel with a knife? He could have some sort of necklace, probably not what you call it when it's for a boy, but you know what I mean. Can you ask someone if there are traditional gifts for boys/young men at certain ages? Also traditional games played in his country and books are good. How about a costume that a boy might wear for a special occasion, like the spring festival or the new year? I'm reaching here, if I think of something good, I'll write again. Be sure to bring home coins, he will love seeing them when he's older. If the bank has uncirculated sets, like they do here, that would be really cool. Don't give up, talk to people and go on treasure hunts. Good luck. Love, Grandma Val, Deb, and Sophie
Dragons, Dad, get stuff with dragons on it, boys love that crap!:):)
