Santa Claus comes a'calling

A dear friend came over to visit Bobo this afternoon. Her visit was special because she was the first friend to see my baby. It was also special because two other friends who had planned to come by last week could not make it due to inexplicably stupid reasons, leading to a lot of disappointment. Her visit was special because she brought along so many different gifts for Bobo that I was totally overwhelmed. It is at moments like these that you realise how much value good friends hold in life. That you almost come to expect their presence, support and encouragement, and something gets missed out in life if you can't have that.



We spent the afternoon talking, mostly giving and taking advice on new mom stuff. Very very valuable practical tips that no book can dole out, or no mother or grandmother can remember enough from their experience to tell you. Baby slept through our talking and later woke up enough to be seen and cradled. Another moment that will stay in my memory for years to come!
