We walked over the grocery store to do a little shopping while we waited for his photos to be printed. About ten minutes later we picked up the photos and were on our way back to Kocherinovo.
We dropped Little Brother off at his foster home so he could have lunch and take a quick nap. His foster mother called when he woke up, and we went over to the house to pick him up. We are forming such a positive relationship with his foster mother. We typically go through the gate while our attendant parks the car. We wave through the dining room window and then walk right in to the house. His foster mother told us that he goes to the window and watches for us now. He seems happy when we get there. He really likes Jason.
Today his foster mother gave us a CD of photos that she had taken since Little Brother arrived in her home. We are so blessed to have over 200 baby pictures of our little boy. It's such a great gift! We're also grateful to have such a good relationship with his foster family. I have a feeling that they will always be our family in Bulgaria and we will keep in touch with them forever.
We took him back to the hotel and Skyped with Nikolas. After our Skype session we took a walk around town. We walked around the city center and then over to an area that used to be a park. The playground equipment was gone and we found a man who was letting his sheep and goats graze in the area. Little Brother loves animals and didn't seem too phased that they were walking right by him.
After our walk we ordered some French fries with cheese and cherry juice from the restaurant downstairs. Little Brother loves French fries and had a good amount of them for his afternoon snack. After snack time we played in our hotel room for a bit before taking him back home. We are so thankful that we've had so much time with him.
We relaxed for a bit after returning to the hotel and then met our attendant downstairs for dinner.
Here are a few pictures that I took around the village:

I think it's wonderful that you got to have this time in a Bulgarian village. Villages say so much about a country. My grandparents lived in a village of about 300 and I loved being there with them. Villages have a special place in my heart.
So happy you have baby photos of your little guy. Amazing how adopting from foster care is so different from adopting from an orphanage. So excited for you.
