Nearly new

I can’t believe it’s a whole year since this.

Yes, we had a wonderful day yesterday.  I played music at church while the Dad (who had been up until 4am the night before, watching Australia play football) cleaned the house.  When I got home, he continued working; I iced the cake and organised the rest of the food.  We had a small(ish) family afternoon tea for Babess, at which she received a baby doll, bottles for the baby doll, a handbag, pink clothes and several books.  In short, a perfect birthday!

This morning, her actual birthday, she got her presents from us and overseas relatives – more books (you all know us so well!), and our gift was a doll push-chair, which was a HUGE hit.  She wouldn’t eat breakfast because she was too busy pushing her baby around the house, and tonight after bedtime I heard her saying, “Fainjin, helpu me, helpu me?”  I went in to find her with the pushchair half pulled into her cot!  She was asking him to help her lift it in with her.  She was very disappointed when I told her she couldn’t sleep with it.

So now, by popular demand (it is so, Stimey is very popular!), a picture of the cake:
