Today
we celebrated my first birthday as a mummy. It has been the most amazing day
and we have found there are so many things to teach our son about the special
days of others.
He
has been part of the planning and preparations and making special things for
mummy. I had a beautiful handmade card which he and daddy had spent a morning
making. We decided to risk the crowds and have lunch at the beach. With
lunchtime and nap times in mind we executed our trip so that our little guy was
full and well rested and he was an angel at the restaurant. He sat calmly and
played with the few toys we had brought with us and we were able to enjoy a
really nice family meal. After lunch we let him have a good play on the beach.
He has no fear of the sea and happily crawls towards it and enjoys a splash in
the shallow water. He ends up covered in sand and quite damp but its so worth
it to hear his squeals of joy and see his big smiles.
Today
we also had the great pleasure of seeing a marine turtle being release back
into the sea. She had been injured and taken care of at the local turtle
sanctuary and now fully recovered was being released back to her home. There
was a large crowd gathered on the beach but we managed to find a nice space and
our little guy even got to touch the turtle before she was released.
It
has been a marvelous day and i’m looking forward to the many celebrations that
the next few months will bring.
