Dear Friends
and Family,
As we celebrate four months of Kyle
being home, he wanted to update you on things he has learned. We would not have this BEAUTIFUL little boy
without all of your help and for that we are eternally grateful. There is not
any doubt that THIS boy was not born to be our child. God hand made him just
for us. Thank you for every donation and prayer that was made to help us
fulfill God’s plan for us and him! We love each of you!
“Hello everyone! I want to tell you
it has been a scary, yet wonderful four months. I wasn’t sure about these
strange people who talk funny when I first saw them. I am a brave boy though and I could see the
love they had for me. It only took me a couple of hours to open up and trust my
new family. I have made LOTS of memories since April 7th. I have
taken my first airplane ride, came to a foreign land, and was greeted by a lot
of people that were very happy to see me. I have my own bedroom (even though I
still sleep with MaMa & BaBa), more toys than I have ever seen, and I even
have my own clothes and shoes!! I don’t have to share them with anyone!! That
makes me so happy! I have gone to the beach and I loved it! I have met lots of
new friends and family members. I LOVE
this thing you call ice cream!! It is one of my favorite words to say. I have
learned lots of English and if I can’t make them understand what I am saying I
show them. I ALWAYS get my point across. My MaMa calls me a smart boy all the
time. I love to do crafts, and painting is my favorite. I can ride a bicycle
with four wheels, although I don’t know why the ones in the back are smaller
than the big one in the middle. I enjoy playing the harmonica with my PaPa.
Sometimes I have to hold my nose so they air doesn’t come out of it, but l can
also blow it without holding my nose too. I also love to get Jie Jie’s (that
Chinese for big sister)iphone and play games and listen to her music. She has
taught me lots of funny songs. I have been
to several awesome doctors (they all love me). I had a good report from the eye
doctor, and had all of my bad teeth fixed. You should see my silver tooth! I am
quite proud of it.I have started my immunizations over just to make sure I am
protected. I will have my “ahhhh” (thats what MaMa calls my cleft palate) fixed
on August 23rd, and will have tubes put in my ears to help get rid
of something called “fluid”. I don’t know what all that means but MaMa says it
is for the best and I trust her. Please
keep me in your prayers. I will get to eat lots of ice cream so I am thinking
it is a good thing! I will start going to see someone that will help me with
speech after my surgery. That way everyone will understand what I am
saying. I am a funny boy who makes
everyone laugh. I am full of energy and have been told I act like my BaBa. I
still have some bad dreams at night but my parents always make sure I wake up
and let me know I am ok. Hopefully one day I won’t have bad dreams anymore.
MaMa has something for my journey called a blog. She will be updating it when I
have surgery. You can find it at charmallen99@blogspot.com. Well I better
get back to playing. I have a lot to do before bedtime. I love you all and
thank you for helping me get to this wonderful life I have.
Love Kyle”
