Belly Laughs

I slept SO well last night because I was exhausted! After 5 minutes after I woke up it began..the drilling, the hammering, etc. I am under the impression they are gutting the room below us (we saw the bathtub outside) so there is constantly a drill or a hammer going. Luckily we walked over to breakfast and were able to gain some peace and quiet!

Our plan for the day was to head out to the orphanage (since we didn’t get to spend much time with Thoung yesterday) and also stop at the Big C (aka Walmart) beforehand to pick up some things needed for the orphanage (on the list that Nicholas gave us yesterday). We were very productive and were able to find things from a hot water heater, to bowls to baby food! We managed to make it on the bus and into the orphanage! We sort of just handed everything to the women in their respective rooms but they seemed appreciative and we were excited at the opportunity to help!

We were then able to spend about an hour with Thoung which was awesome! He lit up as we were leaving his room. We bought a golf and bowling set and he was all smiles when we were teaching him how to use it. We then spent some time walking through the Pagoda, which is when Thoung learned how to tickle my mom with the head of his golf club. She would go crazy and over exaggerate which sent him into belly laughs! I have never seen him laugh so hard! At one point we were on the stairs in the pagoda (made to look like a cave) so there were areas you could see through, and mom would stick her head through and he would chase after her, it was awesome! At one point he literally dragged me so he could chase after her!

We spent some time on the bench taking pictures (he loves his camera, but is very aware the picture isn’t as clear as mine, so loves “borrowing” mine!) and was belly laughing again when mom started acting like Auntie Kathy and did a silly dance! He was convulsing he was laughing so hard, it was so awesome!

I taught him how to zoom on the camera and then I stood up so he could take a picture of me. Mom was helping him, but she made him laugh so hard he got the hiccups! So when he started to take a picture of me he would hiccup and he would end up taking a picture of something above my head, which sent him into another belly laugh.

We had to bring him back to his room so he could eat, but he was fine with saying goodbye, which was great for us!

We took the bus back (I almost fell asleep) and just took well needed showers as we are off to dinner at Longs!

Hugs and kisses from belly laughs.
