How sweet it is...

...to be loved by Kai! Our little guy is really starting to show us affection! On Monday after I got home from work (btw, the day Joe buzzed his hair), I picked him up to hug him. He wrapped one arm around my neck, and snuggled his head on my shoulder. After a few seconds, he pulled back, looked me in the eyes, then snuggled some more. He did this 2 or 3 more times before he was done. He did the same thing last night when I was getting him out of his high chair after dinner. Talk about melting your heart! He's also been leaning his head in and bumping heads with us. I'm not sure if this is a sign of affection, but it seems like it is. 

On another note, today we had our first encounter with a curious child. We were waiting in the check-out line at Costco. Kai was in the cart, and I was on the other side of the belt, waiting to pay. I was talking to him across the belt, and there was a little girl behind us (probably 8 or 9 years old) who was talking to Kai and playing with him a little. When she noticed me talking to him, she started asking questions. The conversation went something like this:

Girl: "Do you know him?"

Me: "Yes, he's my son."

Girl: "Do you like taking care of him?"

Me: "Yes, I love it!"

Girl: "Why does he have different eyes, you know, like this... ?"(and she made her eyes almond shaped with her fingers)

Me: "Because he's from Korea."

Girl: "How can you be his Mom if he's from Korea?" (very puzzled look on her face)

Me: "Because I adopted him."

Girl: "Oh."

And she happily went along playing with him until we were finished in line. It was pretty cute.
