A little about Lei

Lei is his first name and Liu is his surname. Alex is taking his sweet time choosing a name so until he decides we shall use his Chinese name. Who knows, Lei may tell us he wants to continue to use his Chinese name vs. a new American name so we better be prepared for either ;-) His Chinese name will definitely be included in his american name regardless. Lei is from Zhejiang province which is just south of Shanghai and north of Fujian province on China's eastern coast. He is from a place called Taizhou City. From what I can tell so far, this is a fairly rural region and not close to any large cities.

Lei is described as restless, energetic, likes to imitate, and play with toys. He sounds exactly like his sisters ! His update from the SWI also mentions more than once that he gets along well with other children and especially likes to help the younger ones. It states that he likes to help feed and take care of the them. Hearing this is one of the things that just really stole my heart for him.

I will post more as I know it and of course more about the girls !
