bittersweet

I asked Logan the other day what his name was. He replied "Yo-yan." After the hugs and high fives for such great pronunciation of his name, I asked him about Xiao Tong (his Chinese name). There was a pause, then he looked at me and said "all gone" while he did the sign at the same time. Apparently he didn't want any misunderstanding.

I'm thrilled he sees himself as Logan, as part of this family. But it hurts to see that he has disconnected from China so quickly. It's only been 9 weeks...
