thinking about you . . .

dear kate,
tomorrow is your first birthday
it's hard to believe that you will be one whole year old . . .
where does the time go?
it's seems like just yesterday that i was holding you for the first time just after you were born . . .
i sent you a parcel with some presents in it and i hope you like them
tomorrow we will have a nice 'chat' on skype and i'll watch you open your gifts
i love you so much my little angel . . .
love,

your 1st birthday party . . .

dear kate,
mommy sent me these pictures of your very first birthday party!
grampy and grammy couldn't be there because we live so far away . . . but
we were thinking about you, and we knew you would have loads of fun . . .
and you did!
when you come to visit in june, i will make you a special belated birthday cake!
we all love you so much . . .
love,
grammy xo

piddle . . .

dear kate,
mommy called me today to say you had a terrible diaper rash . . .
the experts told her to let you run around without a diaper
you know, so you would 'air out' . . .
so she did . . .
and it was quite the adventure, i'm told . . .
so . . . in honour of the event . . . i wrote a little nursery rhyme . . .

hey diddle, diddle

katie did piddle

all over the kitchen floor

she peed here and there

while she ran around bare

till katie could pee no more

it trickled and dripped

till mom almost tripped

on the wet spots all over the place

she just followed and wiped

while she murmered and griped

all the while with a smile on her face

she really couldn't get mad

you weren't being bad

but just following the doctor's plan

and so it went on

till the rash was all gone

and mommy lifted that diaper ban

love,

grammy xo
