caramel

the two first people who came in my hospital room the day after Mateo's birth were Nadine and Charlie.

Charlie chose this special dog (that he named Caramel- cool name eh?) for Mateo.  

It was Charlie's first gift to Mateo.

I had bought a little stuffed monkey before Mateo was born that we named Bla-Bla and I was hoping that Bla-Bla would become Mateo's favourite stuffed animal but Mateo did not choose Bla-Bla.

Mateo chose Caramel.

Mateo can't sleep without it now.  He holds on to it all night. 

Before I go to bed, I always go and check up on Mateo and he is often in the same position : on his back (like I sleep !!) and one hand is holding onto one of Caramel's paws...

Thank you Charlie for this great gift!!

Mateo loves you.
