The first Ceremony began right on time, and I watched as one after another each newchild was given a name and handed by the nurturers to its new family unit.
For some reason it was a first child but many came to the stage accompanied by another child beaming with pride to receive a little brother or sister, I was kinda envious of them since I was always the younger one.
One of our group, a male named Theo were temporarily missing waiting with their parents to receive newchildren.
But it was rare that there was such an age gap between children in a family unit.
When his family ceremony was completed, he took the seat that had been saved for her in training row ahead. He turned and whispered "she's cute but I don't like her name very much" as some chuckled
I thought it was a great name just like Gabriel but okay I guess? Shrugging my shoulders
Mason noticing my behavior gave my shoulder a tap and I just replied with "what?"
The audience applauded with enthusiasm at each naming, rose with in an exuberant swell when one parental pair glowing with pride, took male child and named him Caleb.
As the couple stood on the stage with the new child Caleb
Another newchild was given the name Roberto and I remembered the Roberto the old had released only last week.
I sat politely through the ceremonies of two,three,four increasingly bored as I was every year
Then a break for midday meal served outdoors and back again to the seats for fives,sixes,sevens and finally the eights last of the first day.
It was an exhausting day and even Gabriel retrieved in his basket from the nurturing Center, slept soundly that night
