Good bye Oława!

           Well, this is weird. I actually wrote a blog post on the day it happened yesterday, and again today. xD Ahhh, it was a nice day. Got a good amount of sleep, relaxed this morning, found out I didn't get site leader, which I sort of expected anyways, so it wasn't too crushing. Really, life is good. My uncle and I did a mini photoshoot with his quality camera so that I can have a nice blogger picture for Inside Dores. Hmm, what else, what else. Ah, but of course, eventually, my wujek Bogdan and ciocia Mariola eventually came to visit again. We talked briefly, of course, and eventually bidded our farewells. But obviously, I'll be keeping in touch! Phones, Skype, email! It's all an open possibility! And it's easier while I'm in Poland as well.
           But that was all for our morning/early afternoon. Then we hopped into the car to go pick up my nephew, Tymek!!! (I think I might have a favorite, shhhh....) So we drove to Oława to pick him up from preschool and then went back to his apartment. We said hi briefly to Adam, who is sick and quickly went upstairs. Literally, this family is full of sickness. It's been a few times when all of them have been fully healthy since I've come here... It's likely thanks to the preschool, but yeah, it goes from one to another to another, all at different times. No end!
           But yes.. so Tymek and my aunt and I went on a little walk. First to the playground by their apartments, where while walking, we kept ya know, putting our stuff down on the bench and going after him, picking it up, going to the next bench, etc. xD It was amusing. I swung by him for a short while and ya know, we helped him on the play structures. He kept saying my name and grabbing my hand, and it was just super cute. (: He really likes to stir up dirt and dust, though. So he would walk, shuffling his feet, picking up dust. It was a rather long, but slow walk, because ya know, he's a kid, so he stops everywhere. For example, he stopped at some apartments' mail boxes, and kept playing with the opening flaps. Absolutely fascinated. Eventually we got to go on, and we bought him some bread, and then continued to another playground where he played in some sand with his grandmother while I rested my legs. He eventually came back to me to show me where some laundry machines are sold. Ya know, guided me to the store. xD Then we walked back, my uncle eventually showed up. Tymek was also heavily fascinated with the doorbells to the apartment, which... we had to stop him from pushing or else he'd ring someone up. And that would just be awkward.
           Finally we managed to head back home. I mean... we went the round about way since Tymek was determined to lead us through a mini field by the road instead of the sidewalk, but we did. xD I should have some pictures with him that my uncle took, I hope. I'll have to look through them eventually. We waited outside for a bit and Agata eventually came home. We ended up going to the apartment, almost, until Tymek saw his stroller that he had been looking for, and then my aunt and uncle went on him with a further walk. Agata and I chatted a bit, and when my aunt came back, she told me this: That she was having difficulty getting Tymek to go back to the apartment, but she told him that I was waiting for him, and he said Nell, turned around, and guided them home. ... Really. I feel super special because of all of this. I ended up helping him on and off a chair. .He would grab my hand to show me things, like his little truck he can ride, and then to color with him (well... he scribbled, but ya know!), and we put some mini baby puzzles together and then some other things. He kept saying Nell and giving me things. I drew him a few things as well.
          Ah! And Agata told me that this morning she told him how I was coming today, and he had this huge smile on his face when he found out. Oh, and he's talking more and more, just picking up on words every day. It's wonderful! Eventually, unfortunately, we had to go. So we said our good byes, Agata and Adam said they might visit me in Krakow, which would be awesome. I called the person in charge of the program in Poland to get some info on the way home, and determined that I'll try to visit Strzelin and Oława while in Krakow at some point when I realized that it didn't quite fall into our end of the trip plans. Just a wonderful day, really. But I'll leave it at that, because I need to go pack, and per usual, any additional memories will be added later! Toodaloo!
