July 2000 (part 3) |

July 12th was our courdate... Mommy was beginning to have butterflies in her stomach !!! She had to try several times before she could prepare a suitable ![]() If I could have seen this, I might have been worried but I was well at peace at the orphanage, it is Mommy who was summoned to court, not me because, as I might have already told you, nobody ever asks ME anything... Sophie and Mommy left for court with a big feeding bottle in their bag, and there, they saw me in the social worker's arms. So I reckon that they were VERY happy... (People are, usually, when they see ME !!!) Mommy entered the court house and I went with Sophie and VVVRRRRROOOMMM.... The driver took us back to the hotel... I had not even time to say good bye to the nice lady who had taken so good care of ME... Actually, I must say that I was very tired and it is only a few hours later that I remembered my good manners, at the moment I mostly wanted a big bottle and nice and comfy bed (in that order if might be...) At court, everything went fine with Mommy. The judge, (Mrs Sochnikova) was a kind enough lady, rather stern but not unpleasant, and Mommy said that she seemed to genuinely care about my future and she wanted to be absolutely sure that Mommy would take good care of me... When the hearing was over, everybody congratulated Mommy and someone took her back to the hotel where I was waiting for her with Sophie....
OK, OK, I was so tired of waiting that I had fallen asleep |

Of course, I eventually woke up and Mommy gave me my first botle... Uuhhhh I should say, HER first bottle... |

Afterwards, Sophie and Mommy toasted me with Champagneskoe and they dressed me up with a lovely pink dress that Auntie Lélie had bought me in England, and then they put me in my stroller and took me for dinner to Patio Pizza... Well, for THEIR dinner, because I had already had my bottle, and I thought that watching others eat was no great fun... I managed to convey this information to them by singing something very nice, at the top of my lungs !!! So, we quickly went back to the hotel and we went to bed.... |
