Sanjaya Rings in the New Year

Happy New Year!

We are moving slowly today, after a New Year's Eve sleepover with Spilly's friend Simon and his mom and dad. It was a great night, with lots of laughter and reflection punctuated by the shrieks of children hurling themselves around the house attempting to dislocate/relocate as many things as possible.

And I was reminded once again about how lucky we are to have good friends in our lives, and about how caring they are. Simon's mom made a very special gift for our Spilly - a handmade t-shirt featuring none other than our good friend, the mighty Sanjaya. She apparently found an image of him online, made it into an iron-on transfer, and then put it onto the shirt. It's absolutely marvellous. Our kiddo shrieked aloud when she saw it, then said delightedly, "Oh, it makes me feel very shy and embarrassed."

He is grinning at me even now, ushering in the New Year in consummate style.
