Arrived at the baby home at 9:15am, Sam was brought up to us and cried a bit, but soon settled down. We gave him some cheerios and tried to see what he wanted to play with. The pop beads won and we played for a little while. Then he got quiet and sleepy and fell asleep on mommy's shoulder. A brief 30 minutes nap and then he sat on Daddy's lap and played with the pop beads again. We realized that he has a rather long attention span when it comes to playing with one toy. He may put it down but then he will go back again. This is what he was doing with the pop beads today. We learned something else today - it is better for us if we end our time with him versus a caregiver coming to us and taking him away to lunch.
After we left the orphanage, we had a nice long walk around Moscow's Red Square. Here are some pictures.
