Joel and I have been worried about Gabriel’s arrival. We’re trying to figure out how we are going to give him a bath, where are we going to put him to sleep, is he going to get sick the moment we leave the orphanage, etc…Both of us didn’t get any sleep last night worrying about this. I guess now more than ever, we wished we had the comforts of our home.
Gabriel greeted as us this morning with his usual smiles. He analyzed the attendance in the playroom to see if there were any new faces. He seems to always be aware of his surroundings. He was eyeing the walker so we put him in there. He started jumping the second we put him in it.
We headed back to our apartment for lunch. We didn’t do anything exciting for lunch. I was tired from my restless night’s sleep and took a nap. Joel prepared some pictures that we needed to get printed to give to Gabe’s nannies. One of his favorite nannies is leaving for a month vacation tomorrow and we wanted to give her a gift before she left. She expressed to us that she will miss Gabriel and that she was saddened that she wouldn’t be here to say bye to him. We were very touched and comforted to know that Gabriel was loved before we came for him. She was very sincere.
Gabriel was visited by Gaia (Bernadette’s beautiful girl) on his blanket today. Gaia will be moving to France when her paperwork is completed. She has the most amazing eyes and Gabriel was stricken by them. I sat both of them in front of me. Gabriel instantly put his right arm around Gaia, pulled her closer to him and went in to kiss her on the cheek. We couldn’t believe our eyes. Our little boy was putting on the moves. Gaia was being quite the lady herself and was ignoring Gabriel. Gabriel remained persistent and tried and tried again to kiss this beautiful little girl. Needless to say, Papa was very proud of his little Casanova.
Paka!
