Went to see the doctor today...

We had to go get Alex's medical exam this morning. There were other couples there who were adopting 2 girls who were about 12 years old and little man was flirting with them. When it was his turn to get his exam I had to undress him and put him on the table and he started screaming, the doctor had not even touched him yet. The doctor made me go sit down because he said that Alex was playing me, he had crocodile tears, and that he wanted me to quit picking him up every time he cried (he wants to save my back). I told him once we got him home and settled I would quit, but he said it would be even harder for both of us then. I know what he is saying is true, but when those little eyes look up at me, what am I supposed to do. When he was finally done examining him and Alex came over to me I had tears in my eyes because I couldn't stand to see him cry. I know I will have to get over this, but I think it is going to take me some time. He is adjusting so well to everything. We went to get his picture taken at St. Basil's today and walk around Red Square, he is just amazed at everything and sits in his stroller and looks around. I am so pleased at how well adjusted he is and how well he is settling in with us. We have been so blessed by this little boy.
