Just a quick blog to say thank you for all the good wishes for Oliver's settling in days with Yola....as expected Oliver is treating this as another opportunity to flirt!
Yola is besotted with him, she is completely wonderful and we fear he may never want to come home!
When Oliver arrived yesterday for his first morning it was as though a rockstar had arrived the three little girls (twins 4 years old and one 3 year old)chanted his name and then sat around him on the floor stroking and patting him....hmmmm tick adoration in abundance!
When we arrived four hours later to pick him up - well there was not a lot of excitement at Mum and Dad appearing shall we say. Today he shot-putted himself into Yola's arms and was very content when we returned a few hours later. He has settled in well and is very happy watching the other children. He seems quite comfortable with Yola and she absolutely adores him....there were no tears on either side.
Next week Mum goes back to work and Oliver will do his two regular days - although only six hours so not too bad. Will provide some photos of family day care next week when things are a little more relaxed.
Oliver is very lucky the same four children go on Monday and Tuesday and one of the little girls also goes to his playgroup on Thursday! They are a lovely group of children very gentle and loving! The little girls in particular are excited to have a baby and well Oliver is excited to be adored as usual! Yola also has too teenage daughters who think Oliver is wonderful....so really it is status quo without pesky mum and dad to dampen down the adoration!
Thanks so much for all the thoughts and prayers and socks as our little family starts this new adventure!
Lots of Love Oliver, Gabe and Anna Marie
