MAY 2021 - Hello dear Emily

It hasn't been easy for you being homeschooled and trying to follow the school curriculum but you worked hard and it paid off. (Your Mom also worked hard so she can share in your achievement!) Sharon was going to return to work on 16 May to work shifts at Umhlanga Hospital so the volunteer baby-sitters got together for a lesson on 'How to care for Alex!" We learned about his daily routine, how much formula to add to the distilled water in his bottles; to sanitise his dummies and did a tour of his room and the different drawers and cupboards for nappies, clothing, blankets etc. We combined this with 'sundowner' snacks and it was great for us all to be together again, the first time since lockdown in March last year.
