More about Benjamin

Following is original referral information

we received in October, 2010.

It's a little outdated (March 25, 2010)...

but it's all we know about our little guy

and the comments absolutely stole our hearts.

According to the orphanage:

"Xigang is extroverted, has fair complexion

and a pair of bright eyes."

(extroverted, great!...
he will need to hold his own with this crew!

love his complexion and beautiful bright eyes!!!)

"He is a very adorable child."

(yes, this we know!)

"Every day the caretakers look after him excellently

to make him become stronger."

(our greatest hope and prayer...)

"Little Xigang likes the caretaker

to take him to play outside."

(perfect!! we spend LOTS of time outside!)

"Outside, he will look around happily and

wave his hands all the time,

making sound of "ma, ma.""

(awwww......LOVE HIM!)

"He is extremely lovely."

(again, this we know!)

"He likes model cares with bright colors." 

(yay! we have lots of those!!!)

"When he holds model cars he will

laugh too happily to close his mouth

and push the car all the time,

after a while he will immerse himself

in the joy brought by the toy."

(FAVORITE comment hands-down!!!)

"Xigang brings us much joy and all caretakers

like him very much, and kindly call him "Ganggang"".

(our favorite nickname for Benjamin too!)

"He has a routine life. He gets up at 6:00 a.m.

and goes to bed at 8:00 p.m.

He naps for about 2 hours at noon."

(great! hopefully he'll continue this routine at home!)

"He has good appetite and moderate eating volume,

his favorite food: shrimp."

(seriously?! this is some orphanage!!)

"He can go to sleep alone and soundly

without bad sleeping habits."

(we definitely hope he brings this home with him!)
