As we were taking our morning walk with Andrew, we came across a kitten that was about 6 months old. It was on the back porch of the orphanage when Andrew spotted it. He walked closer and then stopped in his tracks. I picked up Andrew because the cat was not familiar to me and it looked like a stray that the orphanage workers feed. The kitty was quite friendly even though we didn’t touch it. I was pointing to the cat and saying kitty over and over again. Andrew was just in amazement watching the kitty. The kitten jumped off of the porch and was rubbing her back on my legs as I was standing there hold Andrew. We then took Andrew away from the cat to go in the opposite direction of where the kitten was. Well the kitten kept following us and Andrew was intently watching her every movement. Must be the Winser in him. Robert said to put Andrew down to see what he would do. So I did and Andrew of course walked closer to the kitten. He was about to touch it until I stopped him in his tracks and took him away from the kitty. Soon the kitty made her way to another side of the orphanage grounds and we continued our walk.





Andrew seems to love to climb stairs. Every time that we come close to a stair or step of some sort he desperately wants to step up on it. Even the real high steps. I guess it is like a challenge for him or he might associate it with going in for the day to get dinner. Who knows but if we take him away from the step to continue our walk he gets all whiney and cranky. He loves climbing up and down them and playing behind the door.



We’ve noticed a couple more bite marks on his body. One on his upper belly and the other on his forearm. He is not the only kid in his groupa that has bites on him. Please pray and agree with us that all of the kids (Andrew included) stops biting and hurting each other. It’s horrible to find these bite marks on him and not be able to do anything about it but pray and believe that there is peace in his groupa.



It’s been real breezy this past week and cooler in the mornings. Since the orphanage grounds aren’t mowed there is long dead grass that lays around on the ground and gets on our blanket. With the wind kicking up this week I think Andrew might be allergic to the grass. He has been rubbing his eyes and one of them have been tearing. Also he has been congested a bit. I will talk to the doctor through Alla or through his caretaker about it. Not sure if it’s a bit of a cold or allergies. Please pray and believe that Andrew is in complete health with us.
