Poppy’s Pa (Great-Grandfather) celebrated his 79th birthday today and we arranged a picnic at Pelorus for him. Yogi brought his camping stove and fried up some scallops as an appitiser. Adrienne made salmon mousse and GranJan prepared chicken and pastry rolls with a yummy lemon slice for afters. Poppy ate everything with great enthusiasm and had a lovely time with Ma & Pa. She helped Pa open his birthday gifts and went for a walk with Ma – then played with the ball and shouted BOO from behind things.
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.
