Play Day 2

Hello Friends and Family,
We had another good day, much like yesterday. We both woke up feeling pretty badly... Sam's ankle hurt and I felt sick... but God is so gracious and allowed us both to feel better and play all day. I think I jogged 17 miles today chasing Robi, who is faster than me, and carried him another several! Robi still will not let Sam carry him (and Sam can't really jog on his ankle) and we were all over the place today so I got quite a workout!
Today we were with George, Marian, and the driver again, but we added a new pal, Adam (who turns out to be the famous videographer of the Robi dvd). He is about Sam's age maybe and speaks good English. He was a lot of fun to have around because he would translate a lot of what Robi was saying to us, and was much firmer than Marian in helping to control Robi.
When we walked into the foster home today Robi was clinging to his foster mom and wouldn't look at us, but we didn't push him and very soon, he was playing with me from across the room. No tears when we left this time. Also Adam told us that Robi had been excited we were coming and watching at the window, but got shy when we got there. God is so Amazing!
We drove to the park and there were no nasty kids there today. We played soccer on the basketball court and re-discovered the universal common word "Goal!" We all got lots of goals. Even me.
Robi loves, loves, loves Thomas the train so we planned to go on a train ride. The timing didn't work out but we saw a train up close ("wow" is also a common word!) and got to get inside one for a minute. Robi loved it.
We hit up McDonald's again for lunch (not my choice people!) and this time Robi sat on Sam's lap for 5-10 minutes! It was very good. He plays with Sam and talks to him but does not want to be held or touched. Adam says he has a very close relationship with his foster dad and brushes off other men. But we are getting there.
We walked to a famous ancient castle from the Turk war; it was incredible and had an incredible view of the city, but I was mostly concerned with preventing Robi from jumping off the castle walls or rolling down into an ancient moat, which he was very determined to do. Sam, Robi and I wandered off by ourselves for the first time and were probably just the 3 of us for 20 minutes. We had no problems at all.
A very fun thing about having Adam with us was to see how incredible mush we are communicating with Robi, and he with us. He is very smart, and very verbal and I have felt like he is responding to specific things I say, but of course I don't know. So today I said "Look at those beautiful flowers" and he said something like "The flowers are very nice". Incredible. When Sam and I were wandering the castle with Robi, at one point he commanded us to sit down on a rock bench... it was so clear... and he did a little monologue and brought us some rocks to eat. So funny.
I wish I could put up pics and videos but we can't yet.Can't wait to show everyone our castle adventures later.
Robi fell asleep in the car again and slept the whole way home.
On the trip from Robi's house to the hotel we had an almost hour-long Hungarian lesson from Adam, who in the end, told us our Hungarian is "very bad."
We got home at a reasonable time today and Sam is getting to study some.
Tomorrow we go "to the government." It will be Robi's last night with his foster family. It blows my mind the way life is changing for all of us.
Thank you for praying for us.
