It's a big day. You spent last night tossing and turning in our bed, waking daddy repeatedly. I abandoned the big bed early on and slept solidly under your pink doona and one of the patchwork quilts Nana has lovingly made for you.
My alarm wakes me and I tip toe into the shower and rouse myself while you both continue to slumber.
Dad is up and dressed. I whisper in your ear that today we are going to the new house again. Your eyes flash open and you sit up, sleep slipping from your face. You skip down the hallway and appear back in the kitchen dressed in an ensemble that warms my heart. Pink and gold animal print Hello Kitty high top sneakers all the way from Germany (thanks Esther), pink leggings and a denim skirt that kicks out charmingly. A pink top and a hand knitted cardigan in variegated pink, blue and cream that your great great Aunty Vi knitted.
The fridge and cupboard are a little bare as we have been running down supplies in preparation for our move so we make a pile of cheese on toast for breakfast and stand in the kitchen discussing the coming day as we eat.
It's a big day....June 23rd.
