GOING HOME
I’m going home to-da-a-a-y! I’m going home to-da-a-a-y!
Oh, I can’t wait to get home. I can’t wait to see the house, my doggie friends Mimi, Mokey and Quasi; my Bugs Bunny-themed crib, the Christmas bear Tita Joy gave as a present… And I can hardly wait to see Ela! I’m sooooo curious why my grandma Babes prefers to be called that instead of “Lola”.
Oops, here’s the nurse with a change of clothes for me. Oooh, this must be my going home attire. How cute, a Tweety blanket! And matching mittens and socks, too! These are from my other lola, Mom Mer (again, I wonder why my other grandma prefers to be called by a name other than “Lola”).
Hmmmnnn… I wonder what time Mommy and Daddy will come pick me up. What? They’re already here? Really? Well, come on Ms. Nurse! Pick me up, pick me up! Can’t you give me to my parents yet? They’re outside waiting for me? Hurry, hurry please!
At long last, Ms. Nurse picks me up. With me and my things in tow, she opens the Nursery door. Tan-tan-an-an!
Mommy! Daddy! Ela! Hello-o-o-o everyone!
How are we getting home? Who will carry me? How long is the trip? Oooh, all this excitement is making my thoughts swim!
Aren’t we leaving yet? I guess not— Ms. Nurse is still giving instructions to Mommy and Daddy on the proper way to care for me once we are home. Oh, well. I might as well sleep for a while as they talk…
Finally, we were ready to leave. The trip home passed by in a blur. Mommy carried me in her arms as Daddy wheeled her to the car park in a wheelchair. Ela held me on the car trip home. Ouch! It was quite bumpy.
The next thing I knew, Ela was carrying me into the house, and into the room where she set me down onto my crib. I snuggled deep into my Tweety blanket as I slipped into a deep sleep.
It’s good to be finally home.
