bobby update

This week has been very busy. Tomorrow will be our fourth day this week to travel to Kampala. Those four days included two court dates and three doctor visits. We were able to see the judge and had a hearing, now we return on April 21 for the ruling. Although we hoped it might be sooner, we really didn't expect it to be. Bobby has to have three consecutive days of testing to meet requirements for his visa.
We are doing fine, we love spending the days with Bobby. He is hilarious and loves putting on a show. He has a great laugh and all it takes is for Buddy to make a funny face and Bobby is in stitches. He loves Fanta orange "soda" and so far pretty much all food. Today he ate a piece of chicken with curry mayonnaise all over it then grimaced and spit out a piece of plain lettuce. He loves his leapster that several people went in together and got for him before we left. He calls it his "music" and has to have it for all our trips. The only things so far that are entertaining to him are electronic gadgets. Coloring books, drawing, reading, even balls only hold his interest for a short time. My ipod, however, he played with for an hour or so. He has a great accent and can understand Ugandan very well. The nurses at the clinic speak Ugandan to him and he nods and answers appropriately it seems. I am realizing that he probably doesn't understand as much of what we say to him as we think. He knows both languages but I think right now his primary is Ugandan. Buddy asked our driver today to tell him how to spell and pronounce several basic phrases and words so now I expect him to converse with the locals.
Pictures are still not uploading but I'll keep trying.
Thanks for your prayers, we miss everyone and it is very encouraging to know that we are being prayed for each day.
