Big Thank You

Today is the first day we've not received post including a card or present; the generosity of our friends and family has been amazing. Friends from church Jean and Mike, Al's cousin Penny and Laura and Nathan have been invaluable sources of kindness and support, so have Pauline and Jo from church and everyone has been on the phone with offers of help and concern in the first few weeks. Countless books and toys, clothes and other gifts have arrived; I'm not sure we have even kept track properly of who has given us what as we were so bamboozled in the first days. It's been amazing.

As he's growing Joshua is starting to explore the world, meeting a great many people and seeing it from different vantage points like his swing and car seat. He's doing very well and says thank you for all his many gifts! xx

as big learning curves go i guess having a kid is about the biggest, and no two mothers have the same experience - so if someone tells you that theirs was composing symphonies by two weeks then just ignore them and work out what's best for you and yours

Kids are basically empty vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge - so have fun, teach him right from wrong and, in case that doesn't work, also teach him karate
