We honestly didn't think much of it but after being with us for 5 days and hearing only English a person came up to Hayden and started speaking Russian and he screamed like crazy. We thought maybe it was the person but then the same thing happened a few days later with a different person and he did it again. He looked so scared! We had planned to use some Russian words at home but have been using English only. Ok even with all of that said it could just be our little guy as I can only speak for our experience. We do have friends who are on their second Russian adoption and they were even told not to take their first son back to Russia as it could trigger PTSD. Please don't think I am telling you what to do....not my intention AT ALL!!! I know each child is different!! Just wanted to share....$53.00 is a lot for a toy!!Heather & Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470521412335224699noreply@blogger.com
