Our Martian Child

I mentioned in an earlier post that Roman had the chicken pox... they have a unique way of treating skin disorders over here ... they put "green stuff" on everything ... sort of like iodine or neosporin except it's green ... a little weird but it doesn't detract from the cuteness of this little guy!!!

We weren't sure that the hospital was going to let us in to see Roman or spend time playing with him.... we were prepared to just see him through the glass of his room and then hear his medical reports since he went into the baby home.... SURPRISE... we got to the hospital and went to the building for infectious disease ... Svetlana went in and came out to say no problem. The gave us a little room to spend some time with Roman in ... they even got him dressed up for our visit. He came in very happy .... saw 2 strangers and stopped in his TRACKS!!! It took a few minutes but we came prepared with toys and Stephen's watch and in no time he was laughing and having fun with us!!!

The hospital staff asked if we'd like to feed him lunch... couldn't pass that up .. it was more then we could have hoped for!!! This little guy sure can eat... he feeds himself and even wanted to share his bread with his new Papa... very cute!! I am not kidding ... this kid has an appetite and he is going to give Stephen a run for his money!!! He even drinks out of a little cup ... tea cup sort of thing... and the liquid in side was warm tea!!!

The hospital staff said we can come back Thursday for another visit!!! YES!!! We will get to spend 2 days with each boy!! They are great!!! We got Roman's medical information from the baby home after our visit at the hospital... looks like he is totally healthy .... 2 healthy boys... well one looks like a little Martian but we'll love him no matter what!!!

We can't show the photo of him so trust us ... spots or no spots he's a cutie!!!

Hi Christine,
I've been loving your blog. Roman is so cute and that is a great story of your first meeting! Those dots are really green! It looks like he had a fun encounter with some magic markers or something. Poor baby. I hope he feels better soon. I'm so happy for you both. You are glowing in your pictures.
