Today has been a busy day. We got up early and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau around 9am to meet the babies. One of the girls was crying for awhile at the beginning, but all three little ones did pretty good while we were there. Niklas was very quiet and interacted very easily with us. He liked the soft monkey and really giggled when Erik tickled him with it. The O-ball was also a hit and he knew how to throw it to me. He seemed to utter the word "ball" while we were playing. His favorite toy was the toy phone by Parents that I got at Target. It has the ability to record a message and Ellie Grace said "Niklas, this is your sister Ellie Grace, I love you". The record button is on the outside of the phone so it has been pushed and the message is gone but he did hear big sister's voice!
The tears started when we set foot in the taxi, he didn't like leaving and was crying loudly for his nannies. We were told to wait for the pictures but he got upset again when we left our room to go downstairs for the picture. Rebecca talked to him and we got him to walk holding her hand and then my hand.
The three of us went to lunch and ate some fried rice. He loved the rolls and the rice! He likes to eat. We spent the rest of the afternoon in the room. He has been playing with the phone, ball, 2 stacking cups, and his sippy. He doesn't want anything to do with the backpack we brought and gets mad at me when I show it to him. He did put all the toys in a paper bag but it just broke.
His personality isn't quiet or shy or timid from what we have seen today. We were told he is stubborn and his actions have proven it so far!
