Today we go shopping in preparation for the visit. It seems strange to be buying items like baby wipes and nappies (or diapers as they are commonly called in Canada). I notice the priority car park spaces for parents and toddlers and can’t help feeling somewhat cheated. When my children were small there were no such concessions and I made do as best I could. Now I have to struggle to survive long enough to get my bus pass; what an incentive to keep going!
Gerald has put some old cine film footage of Rachel’s first birthday party in South Africa onto DVD. There is no sound, and the quality won’t be up to much but I think it will be fascinating for Ziva and Levana to see their Mummy interacting when she was just one year old. Batsheva will think it is her! They seem so alike to me. I am so looking forward to seeing them all.
Rachel hasn't yet told the girls they are visiting Grandma England. Levana asked to go in her Uncle Dan's suitcase so he can drop her off at my house! The excitement would be too overwhelming so Rachel is leaving it to the last minute. Even when Rachel and Jonathan pack, the girls will stay with Grandma Ottawa! I would love to see their faces when they realise!
I am putting together a little 'time capsule' for Levana as the oldest granddaughter with my medals, and little descriptions of how I won them. I would like her to have it when she is older.
