Boys will be Boys!!!

Day 16
                The Lady at the pharmacy was so nice I decided to go back and see her again today. This time under the recommendation of the family pharmacist. What would we do with out George!!! Thank you George!!! And Liliya for telling us  I was able to buy antibiotics over the counter here. Hopefully this will do the trick!!

        Today we went to buy Lincoln shoes. It was about a 30min. drive. We arrived at the store and he was timid about entering the store.  He slowly walked in and his eyes were just shifting all over the place.  We headed to the boys department and they had a good many shoes to pick from. This was a little overwhelming for him. He looked and I showed him a pair of sneakers. He liked them and tried them on. Well, he was pretty impressed with them and was satisfied to take them and go.  First we checked them.... I could put three fingers behind his heel.  So we suggest he try the same shoe on in a different size. It was new for him to be able to pick the shoe and the size. When we told him to pick a second pair he thought we wanted him to get a different pair than the sneakers he already picked.  So we had to explain that he was getting two pair of shoes. Ones for playing in and good shoes for church and dress occassions....like court on Thursday.  Slowly you could see a smile and then he slowly nodded his head as to say....Oh, I get it!!

We then went to the mall for some ice cream. Eager was nice enough to order for us.  The girl brought our coffee and ice cream for Lincoln. She also brought him a pepsi and a creape like dessert with cream and powdered cocco on it. Eager and Lincoln are no longer allowed to order on the buddy system. Talk about Sugar Shock!! I was so worried he would get sick in the car on the way back.  Some of the children got car sick last summer when they were in America from not being use to riding in cars. Luckily he was fine.

When we arrived back to the orphange all the kids were playing inside the gate. They all came runnig toward the car. They are always excited to see us coming and they like to see the  "machina" or car. They like to open  and close the car doors just to see how they work. The boys like to look at the speedometer to see how fast the machina can go. Boys will be Boys no matter where they are.  One boy likes to come see us and practice his English words. He says "Hello" very loud and laughs. Today he says hello and wants to show me something. At first I thought it was a plastic bug out of the toy bug we brought. No it was a real bug that moved. One of the biggest bugs I have ever seen!! .... See Boys will be Boys no matter where they are!!!
