We got to see the boys today!

"I" has a lovely black eye. Poor little thing. They said he was playing and fell on a toy.
"I" is such a snuggle bug. He did not want to play he just wanted to be held and loved on. He was at the end of his nap and they woke him up. Seeing him was nice, but nothing to really report about.

When we went to visit "S" they got him ready and had us take him outside to a gazebo. He was in his shut-down mode and we were trying to play and interact with him. Some of the older kids came out to another gazebo and that interested him. It broke my heart because the kids were so happy to be outside, but they wanted to run around instead of being gated in the gazebo. Two of the kids ran off a bit and the caregiver went after them. One little boy was fighting about going into the gazebo so she pinched the back of his neck. He started crying and it started upsetting "S" so he put his binky in his mouth.

A little bit later his age group came out. They joined us in our gazebo and "S" turned into a completely different child. It was great! We got to see him smile, laugh, clap his hands, dance and interact with the other children. We also got his caregiver on video singing with him. It was so cute.
He said Papa! It was coming out as BaBa and the caregiver pointed out to us what he was saying. I guess when he needs something he can holler for papa first. haha

After a while I was able to get "S" to smile. When I reached out and picked him up he when stone still again. Ahhh, I guess one day he will relax with us. Both boys just need time. sigh...
