Travelling baby Drake visits us

Earlier this year Ronny wanted to help the homeless and decided to set a baby Gregor, called Drake, on a journey to several temporary homes on his quest to find a forever home.  The idea was for each of the host families to give him a good time and give him a gift, then send him to the next person.  So the baby who started out with nothing would have several things to take with him to his permanent home when he is auctioned.

Baby Drake arrived from Dee of Sasha Village a couple of weeks ago.

I made him a romper with matching sun hat in the South African shweshwe fabric, a felt ball and 5 felt blocks with his name spelled on them.

 Drakes last day with us (with thanks to my younger daughter who helped with this story):

Drake has been playing with his friends baby Mabel and baby Leo

They were having fun sharing toys

Leo and his rattle

Drake plays with his felt blocks and ball

Laura comes to tell the babies it is time to put the toys away as it is bed time

Laura puts the toy owl on the chest of drawers

Baby Drake collects all his blocks...

...while baby Leo and baby Mabel put toys in the cart

Baby Drake puts his blocks into his hat

Baby Leo likes the pig glove puppet

They all snuggle down to listen to Florence read about the Christmas donkey

The story is all about a little donkey who carries Mary to Bethlehem

Baby Drake likes the story

and wonders when he will be going on a journey to his new home

baby Mabel cries and baby Leo gets upset too as they don't want their friend to leave

So they all snuggle into the cot together for one last sleep before Drake's journey

We have enjoyed hosting baby Drake and hope that he finds his forever home soon.
