Ryan arrived in Las Vegas on Tuesday, January 6th. Whitney, Tyler Jeremy (Whitney's boyfriend), and I went to Hal Smith Elementary to meet and pick up Ryan. He was very quiet Tuesday night. Pizza and soda was provided. Ryan ate very slowly and looked a little like a deer in headlights. Whitney was so excited to meet him and tried to talk with him without overwhelming him.
Once we went home, we showed him around the house and his bedroom. He called home and then settle in. He was very quiet and, I think, overwhelmed!
Ryan speak English very well. He can generally communicate his thoughts. He is very independent and such a wonderful child. I have already fallen in love with this little guy and know I will shed many tears when he leaves in two months.
Our goal is to expose him to any many activities, sites, and experiences that are uniquely American. Disneyland, the beach, the Strip, Hoover Dam, and Red Rock trips are on the agenda. Wish us luck and love!
