yesterday we went to visit Papa at work. most of his office refers to themselves as Dante's Auntie or Uncle... so it was about time.
seeing dave at work is an inspiration. he works in a pretty beat-up place but the people their are wonderful and they LOVE Dr. D. all of his aunties' were swarming around him and he loved every moment. winking, giggling. when we arrived dave was with a patient but as soon as he saw him he scooped him out of my hands and proudly took him on a tour. it was very touching to see dave so proud and happy.
one of the security officers stopped me to tell me that Dr. D was her father's doctor and that he was amazing with him. with a tear in her eye she told me what a great doctor dave is and the first doctor that her father has ever listened to. based on her age, i think her dad would be in his 60s-70s so to listen to some young doc is pretty good. i am so very proud of my husband.
another bonus of the clinic is we were able to weigh and measure dante. thankfully we had the help of about six nurses and two docs. as you see from the photos he is about 15.5 ounces in the photo with clothes/diaper, so we think he is probably 15 pounds. we now refer to him as chunk-a-licious.
dante's favorite by far was mrs. robinson, dave's nurse. she is a really tough woman but melted with dante. she holds a special place in my heart. she keeps dave in line and when he doesn't do what she says, she has been known to give him a little slap on the head.
much love.
