Darling Baby Kay - what a first Christmas! We had a lovely few days with Nanny and Granda, and now you are in bed on Boxing Night after an exciting time and 3 blissful full nights sleep! Everything went so well, it was wonderful to see family and friends, and all the planning and preparation paid off. Having said all that you were a little baffled by all the commotion, noise, presents, people and general excitment - but it didn't stop you being sunshine bright and full of beans - which probably explains why you have been sleeping so well these last few nights! We took this picture of you surrounded by all your presents on Christmas morning - you really didn't know what to make of it all.
People were over-generous and we have a house full of presents for you that I wonder whether you will ever get around to playing with! You have a new baby walker which has lots of buttons and lights, a musical train to pull along once you are up and on your feet, lots of books and other toys - but you are very taken with a Upsy Daisy rag doll and a set of sleigh bells. Anything which can make a noise or be chewed on little gums that are cutting teeth it seems. When I was bathing you this evening I was thinking back to last year, when I was so full of anticipation and excitement about what the New Year would bring, and what Christmas 2008 would be like with our child. I just want you to know that nothing could have prepared me for it; how tired I would be, how disorganised the house would be, how much technicolour plastic it would involve, or how many sets of batteries for musical toys we would need - or how this would be the most wonderful time of my life. You have made our home, and all our Christmases complete my darling. Sweet dreams x x
