Ottavios turn/ Toca Ottavio

We spent Saturday morning touring some ancient Buddhist caves/monastery about an hour outside Mumbai. Once again we seemed to be more of an attraction than the caves, especially Ottavio.

Indians generally love children, and there are always people trying to stop my kids and have a chat with them. I guess they are to intimidated to ask me what they want to know, so instead they click their tongues and whistle my littlest ones over.

Dante and Ottavio are always making "friends" and this day was an exceptional one for Ottavio.

We ran into a fairly large group, mostly women, and the sight of Matt wearing the baby on his back was too much for them. Within seconds they were crowding around giggling and pinching his cheeks, (Ottavio's, not Matt's) and before we knew it they had pulled him out of the backpack. Isabella quickly took him, but he was snatched away again by one of the young girls. This did not go over very well with him, but all the tears and resistance he could sum up did not change a thing.

They continued to kiss him, pinch his cheeks ( a favorite) and basically adore him all over.

Poor baby!

In the end Matt was forced to rescue his own child, as the groupies were unwilling to relinquish.

Pasamos el Sabado recorriendo algunas antiguas cuevas budistas, cerca de la ciudad. Una vez mas, parecimos ser los mas interestante de las cuevas. Sobre todo Ottavio.

Los Indios en general, aman a los ninos, y siempre hay personas que desean coger a mis hijos a tener una charla con ellos. Supongo que son intimidados para pedirme lo que quieren saber. Asi que hagan clik con la lengua y silban a mis pequenos. Dante y Ottavio siempre estan haciendo amigos, y este dia fue excepcional para Ottavio.

Nos encontramos con un grupo bastante grande, sobre todo mujeres, y a ver Matt llevando el bebe en la espalda era demasiado para ellos. En cuestion de segundos que se apinaban alredador riendo y pellizcando las mejillas ( las de Ottavio no Mateo) y antes de que nos dieramos cuenta lo habian sacado de la mochila. Isabella lo tomo rapidamente, pero el fue arrebatado de nuevo por una de las chicas jovenes. Esto no cayo muy bien con el, pero todas lss lagrimas y resistencia que podia resumir, no cambio nada. Siguieron besarlo pellizcar las mejillas ( un favorito) y basicamente lo adoran por todas partes.

Pobrecito!

Al final Matt se vio obligado a rescatar a su propio hijo. Como las chicas no estaban despuestos a renunciar.
