Looking back ... with a smile.

Photo of my Little P, taken when she was 2 years old.

I've been looking back with fond memories,

so much can happen in 4 years ...

People flit in and out of your life, the good ones stay, hopefully.

little P herself has mastered a language,

learnt to read, and to nurture friends.

She can dress herself, wash her own hair

and read quietly on her own.

She understands the word 'no' and accepts

reasons why 'no'.

It is an honour to be her Mum,

and I'm proud of her on a daily basis.

The artwork in this picture has recently formed

the background to a shoe box for a school

project. Each child in the class has their own

special 'memory box' to be filled throughout the term.

Then all the boxes will be on display

for the parents to see. It's going to be great to see

all the other boxes, and to marvel at her own

special treasure box. I love this idea,

and will keep the box 'as is' for the future.
