Hello my darling,
It was your birthday on Friday. Because we were having a party for you here on Sunday we thought we might not even get to see you on your birthday, but Mark and Tammy took pity on us and brought you around for a visit.
At first they weren't sure how they would transport you in the car because you can't sit in the car seat. I bought you a plastic dog bed! I found a sheet of foam and covered it with an old duvet cover (made smaller to fit) and Tammy took the harness off your high chair and threaded it through the slits in the bottom of the plastic dog bed. Voila! You have a perfect, transportable bed complete with harness that fits on the back seat!
We bought you a baby doll that cries, breathes, laughs and burps after drinking from a bottle. It really is a bit weird - very life like - and you were quite taken with it. We also bought you a few books to add to your collection. I hope that you will love reading like I do. Your father hardly ever read anything besides computer books!
It was lovely to have you here for a little while and we all sang Happy Birthday to you. Its just sad that you are in a cast on your first birthday. Tammy found some lovely brightly coloured crepe bandages and will colour co-ordinate your birthday outifit on Sunday!
I have ordered special cup-cakes and cheese cakes for your birthday and Tammy will be making savoury snacks as well.
Big hug my darling,
Love you,
Granny Sil
