Christmas Postcard

I made this postcard with the idea of sending it to family in South Africa.

Wendy had a lot of fun with this Ball Tent. Her Mum is pregnant and uncomfortable so its marvellous that Auntie Michelle enjoys getting down on Wendy's level and playing with her. Kids need that. Michelle was there when Wendy was born. They bonded then, and Michelle has been an excellent Auntie to that child. What child can have too many adult champions?  There are loads of photos of Michelle playing with Wendy, taking Wendy out, and just enjoying her company.

 
Also, most of us have a big-kidspace inside us that is OK to express in the company of an unselfconscious young child.  That may be part of the joy of it.  The adult world has to be serious so much of the time that we can forget just how liberating it is to be carefree, undignified and simply celebrate silliness.
