What a week! / Que semana!
This week was the first one we spent as our family, by ourselves! Grandma Maria went back to Brazil and Antonio started at the day care. It wasn't as hard as thought, but the anxiety of having our little boy (so little he is) in a place with other children and some teacher he's never met before was sort of upsetting!
On Monday morning we went to his day care. Everybody! Grandma Maria was heading to the airport right after that and she cried when she had to leave him there. The fact is that she never cried when put me or my sister at the school, but at this time, she did...
Claudia, obviously, cried too and I was the one that had to hand him over to the teacher. My heart was sort of broken too, but I held my tears, took a deep breath and gave him away!
He is improving every day...He cries a lot, of course and his throat was a little bit sore because of that, but he already recognizes his eacher (Ms Yordanka) and smiles at her, which is a good sign! There are days he sleeps, and days he doesn't...same goes for eating and drinking his milk!
Claudia went there everyday at lunch time, and when he sees her, he starts laughing as he's really happy to see her there!
On Friday - the last day - he was a little feverish and we were worried he'd be sick...Thanks God, it was a false alarm...the fever went away with medicine and he's happier than ever!
Also, on Friday, I got my Green Card and no longer have to be asking for visas to live or come into this country...Claudia will arrive soon too! This is good news!
Later, I'll tell more...
Essa foi a nossa primeira semana so nos tres! Vovo Maria foi pro Brasil e Antonio pra creche. Nao foi tao dificil quanto parecia, mas a ansiedade de deixa nosso pequenininho num lugar diferente com pessoas que ele nunca viu, era meio triste!
Todos nos fomos a creche na segunda e Vovo Maria ja despediu dele ali. Ela chorou e preciso dizer que nem quando ela colocou eu ou minha irma na escola ela chorou. Agora, nao se conteve! A Clau, obviamente, tambem chorou e eu tive que ser quem ia entrega-lo nas maos da professora! Nao foi facil, e eu tambem senti o baque, mas me segurei!
Ele tem melhorado a cada dia, ainda chora muito e chegou a ficar ate rouquinho por causa disso, mas ja reconhece a professora dele (Srta. Yordanka) e ja ri pra ela, o que eh bom. Tem dias que ele dorme bem e dias que nem dorme...o mesmo vai pra papinha e o leite!
A Clau foi todos os dias na hora do almoco e ele nao conseguia difarcar a felicidade de ver a mae por la!
Sexta-feira - o ultimo dia - ele chegou a ficar febril a nos nos preocupamos, mas gracas a Deus, foi so um alarme falso...a febre se foi com remedio e ele esta mais feliz do que nunca!
Tambem na sexta, chegou meu Green Card e nao preciso mais ficar dependendo de vistos pra viver ou entrar nesse pais...Isso eh boa noticia!
Depois, conto mais!
Beijos a todos,
Rogerio, Claudia & Antonio
