Nearly two years ago, J started exchanging emails with a certain Gustav, a rat friend of Ulli and Sabine. He wanted Gustav to come live with us. Gustav said he would, but at the time he was busy running a restaurant in Paris, so he wasn't sure when he would be able to come. He was also not the best correspondent (also here, here, here).
A few months ago, Gustav told us he would meet us in Paris when we were there this summer. It was a big deal, and J was talking about it weeks before the trip.
Gustav met us at the Eiffel tower. Here is the moment of the meeting:
And here the reunion with Ulli and Sabine:
Since then J has had Gustav with him pretty much at all times. Here are some other pictures from Paris:
It had actually been several months since I had done a lot of puppetry, but now it's as if J is three years old again! He wants me to "do Gustav" all the time, and he wants to explain everything to Gustav. Great for language. In the next weeks there will probably be a lot of Gustav-related posts.
