Skyping with Anderlin as we get closer

Well for the last month or so we've been Skyping with Anderlin and Roni (Roni and Steph are Anderlin's house/foster parents at COTP in Haiti).  That's been good although challenging for sure at times with a 4 and 6 year old (here with us) who struggle with nice orderly communication and struggle with sitting still for more than 2 minutes.  They want to bring everything and show everything to Anderlin which at times can be overwhelming for all.

Then there is the challenge of the internet - which on both sides can come and go a little - but overall is great for all of us.  Anderlin is getting better with his speech and having questions for us, but at times does lose focus.  Sometimes his answers struggle and it is hard to tell how much is some developmental challenges or just being under the spotlight a bit.

A number of times as we've closed the call he has broken into tears.  Probably partly as it is always his bedtime when we Skype, but also he is enjoying the time and appears to be anticipating being with us.  This seems like good news!

Anderlin, Roni, and Fanelson (another boy in the Hope House who joined the calls a few times).
