Welcome to our family Pistacio!
Almond POV
It was my birthday yesterday. I'm five years old now. I'm old, but still not big. Macmac is still way bigger than me, and he's only two! oh well.:P
Last month mommy and a friend found a chocobo being opened up for adoption online. Mommy asked her friend to tag people so she can get him, and mommy did.
He was supposed to arrive a day before my birthday. My pirate birthday bash was in the works and I was in the middle of preparing and annoying mommy, daddy, Elliot, Queenie, Hazel, Rudy, Touga and Macmac over the preparations and making sure that Meshu got her invitation. erm, anyway...
Late Tuesday evening, Mommy gets a guest. It was the adoption agency.
She came into the house holding a yellow fluffy bundle, smiling from ear to ear.
He yawned and glared at us. We were scared at first, because his voice is really low and scary.
So mommy introduced him to us. In the spirit of Unity, his name will be Pistacio, but his nickname will be Tacio.
Mommy sat him between her and daddy. He was looking around, taking in his new house while I argued with Macmac over who will get the eyepatch for the costume. I was a pirate and he would be a Nobel navy person. The eyepatch is for pirates.
He finished eating and mommy let him explore the house, walking behind him. Daddy told Hazel, Macmac and I to be nice to him and be friendly, but Hazel said she was scared at how Tacio glared at everyone. Daddy said to give him time and he will be nice to everyone.
That evening, he went in and pulled blankets and nipped at toes. Queenie ran out of her room screaming and he got Touga and Elliot to run out of their room. Mommy came to his rescue and brought him to our room where we were preparing our costume. He said he didn't want to sleep with us. Something about taking him out in his sleep thing.
So mommy let him sleep in the Master's for the night. He slept in one corner. Mommy told me that we had to be more patient to him. After all, we're family now.
That morning, after saying sorry to Queenie, Touga and Elliot, we had breakfast and mommy got the party place ready for the afternoon. There was a buffet table, big human chairs, big children's chairs and tiny chocobo chairs. She was talking to the catering and preparing the garden for the games and the inflatable bouncing pirate ship she got for me.
I love my mommy so much.
Daddy had to head to the office for a while but he came back for lunch.
The Winner kids and my chocobo siblings gave me a pre-party party. It was really a dress up party for our costumes. We got ready for the party while Tacio watched far away. He didn't want to join us.
It was the best party ever! there was a treasure hunt, (daddy specifically said no digging of the lawn) a bit of swimming and of course the bouncing pirate ship. I had a great time. Meshu came too! I was really happy that day.
That night, while Hazel, Macmac and I were fixing our pin-up board of all the pictures we got, and the winner kids were telling ghost stories, mommy talked to Tacio and asked if he was okay. He didn't join any of the games and sat away from us during snack time.
Tacio told her that he's waiting to be shipped off to another family like what happened. He didn't want to be too close to us, then have to leave us soon.
Mommy assured him that she took him into the family to be with us forever. Tacio was a Winner now. He's a brother to everyone.
After mommy and Tacio talked, he came and helped us fix the pictures. Then he set his bed and prepared the bath. He also made Hazel and flower wreath out of paper clips.
Turns out he's really talented.
We went to Preventer today, and mommy introduced him to everyone. I have to share mommy's of daddy's shoulders now coz he's my partner now. He's as big as me.
Uncle Heero talked to him.
Uncle H: You're puny
T: YOu're ugly.
Uncle H: You're rude
T: You're pathetic
Uncle H: I could fry you
T: I can insert really squiggly insects into your ears when you sleep.
They became best friends.
He may not be sweet or cute or charming, but he's my baby brother.
And I can do the poking dance with him all day..
Welcome home Tacio,
Baby Tacio
We bumped our heads. It was really painful.
