this week

for the past 4 months my mum's friend has been trying to adopt. in the last 3 months she got a phone call saying they have a little boy named Abat who was 4 and ready for her to pick up from ethiopia. she got her flights ready and we held a sort of 'baby shower' but instead we raised money for the orphanage he was in.
in total they raised over $2000, which was an extreme amount of money!

last weekend they came home, after going on a big holiday in england, scottland, and then to ethiopia.
we visited Abat. he was so cute! he spoke ethiopian, so therefore couldn't understand us.
but he was very happy and fasinated by his little fire engine.
in the next 2 days we visited him again.
this time we braught him a present, texters, a colouring book and a jumper.
i drew pictures with him, he coppied my flower and the other pictures i drew.
then he said "ABCD" and it was so cute, and he was dancing, and talking in ethiopian to me!
he's my bestest friend =]


thats me and abat.
