We had a much better visit with Robert today! He still cried when they brought him into the room, but it didn’t last long and he started playing with the toys we brought. It also helped that we had some juice, a banana and a piece of candy for him! He reacted with us much more today and he made eye contact today without us calling out his name. Yesterday he would just hang his head down looking at his toys unless we said his name. We’ve been calling him Arman Robert so he slowly gets used to his new name. He even initiated a game of throwing balls back and forth to each other. Robert was definitely ready to go back to his group after our two hours, but he gave us big hugs goodbye and waved at us the whole time he walked out of the room. I think we’re making progress!
After our visit we walked down to Ciao Pizza and then walked to one of the parks just to get out of the apartment. There’s only so much FOX News you can watch.
Luggage and hot water update: No on both.

Hi...It's so great to be able to check on Robert's progress each day. He seems to be coming along, but at his own speed. I was wondering when they will let you take him out for a walk or a visit to the mall...Love, Mom
Hi guys,
I'm so glad to hear that Robert is warming up to you. You still have a few days with him, so hopefully he'll start looking forward to your visits shortly. I'm so sorry about the water and your luggage. I know that it's making your trip a little more challenging than necessary. I still don't have a phone number to your apartment so cannot call you just yet. Also, just reminding you to check with Aigul about your visas whenever you get a chance.
In my prayers, Olga ; )
