breakfast visit
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Jul 17 2008 | By: lolayabonobo
Guess who ran up to our house this morning? Lolo! She had just finished having a bath and smelled like coconut oil. She escaped the mamas walking her to the forest, ran to our porch and started sniffing around as if to say, ‘what do you guys eat for breakfast around here?’ Mama Micheline gave her the warning ‘Lomela!’ read ‘you’re in trouble’. So she jumped into my arms. My goodness she is heavier than the little stick insect of last year. It’s like she quintupled in size.

Excuse my spastic looking face, I was just felt so sly and cunning to have caught her for a quick cuddle before breakfast. I can hardly ever take a photo where she’s not stuffing food in her mouth.
Then I did. Just look at that tummy.

hi girls,
eleke was getting tested with tory’s social tests she’s runnign with the bonobos. eleke is very very smart! apparently, each time he picks the right cup with the food under it, he runs to mama yvonne so she can hang him upside down. this is more reward than the food for him:)

Hahaha! Eleke sounds like a typical kid. Thanks for sharing your morning visit from Lomela. I’d say she definitely remembers you from last year. I can’t get over how fantastic she looks.
