Poppy waited in line for Santa this morning at the Richmond Mall. I thought she might be wary of him like she was with the Christchurch Santa – but I backed her onto his knee so she didn’t come face to face with his big white beard until after the shot.
Motherhood is about raising - and celebrating - the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that she is exactly the person she is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, she just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be.
