YL has been very excited about Bambino ever since he realised that he was going to become a father. Everyday, when he comes home from school, he will ask earnestly about Bambino, whether Bambino has moved a lot or kicked a lot, or whether I have discovered any of Bambino's special movements!!
He loves to put his hand on Bambino's home (my tummy) and feel Bambino's movements. His eyes would light up and he would chuckle in excitement whenever he feels the rhythmic movements of bambino "having hiccups" (or so we think!), or just him rolling about.
He would also read out psalms to Bambino and at times pray for Bambino.
He would dream of the things that he wants to do with Bambino when Bambino is finally out...how he wants to teach him music, teach him languages (hebrew???), teach him swimming, teach him physics, do experiments with him (not to him!!), play with him, etc...
He would talk to Bambino, and tell him that this is his "papa" touching him, hoping that Bambino would respond with a kick. And often, I think Bambino does respond quite uniquely to him. Perhaps its because YL has a higher metabollic rate which causes his temperature to be generally higher than normal people. As such, Bambino could probably feel the difference between my touch and YL's touch. For example, at times he might not have been moving even when i pat my tummy, but when he senses YL's touch, he could give a mild kick or move with YL's palm. Of course, his "papa" feels really delighted at the special treat from his son!
