A Very Big Few Days

Christmas is over for another year.

It's awfully hard to believe that this time last year we were just telling our family and friends about a tiny bean-size Tiger battling away in Cackle Mummy's belly.

And now ...

Miss Tiger has had a Very Big Few Days. We went on ... a holiday!

We went to STAY WITH GRAN AND GRANDA ON THE FARM WITH HORSES AND DUCKS AND CHICKENS AND STUFF! HURRAH!

Tiger has been here and there before this, but only for a night. This time, Tiger was going away for a WHOLE FOUR DAYS!

And Cackle Mummy was a tad stressed. How would Tiger cope sleeping and eating and playing in a Whole Different Place for four days? How would she cope with different noises, different smells, changing routines?

How would she cope with ALL OF THE CHRISTMAS STUFF?

In the end, of course, Cackle Mummy did not have to worry one tiny little bit. Tiger ate. Tiger slept. Tiger RODE A HORSE (Yes, actually). Tiger did not mind one jot being cuddled by All Of The Lovely Family People.

She had a super dooper Christmas, being (of course), Little Miss Centre Of Attention and getting All Of The Things. She received many books, a few special toys, a wonderful stamp set to frame, her first Big Girl Peter Rabbit eating set and sooooo many hugs! I am surprised Tiger did not come back in the shape of a hug! She spent all day being Very Much Squished. She hung out with Gran L and Granda C and Poppy S and Grandma V and Uncles Lil Bro and A, and Annie Cat and Sammy Dog and was loved by all and loved them so hard back.

 

The next day, Tiger went to see her amazing Great Nan A and was squished all over again.

And then, TIGER SAW HER FIRST LIGHTHOUSE!!! 

And the NEXT day, Tiger did in actual fact ride a horse. She is the cleverest and bravest and most resilient Tiger there is.

And now Cackle Mummy knows Tiger Can Travel ...

Oh the places we will go!

I am SO proud of my little girl. She charms the socks off all she meets, she loves new experiences, she is curious and good-natured and happy and just generally All Of The Awesome.

I hope you all had wondrous Christmases, especially those of you with new little ones. It makes it all the more special.

And time spent with family really is what Christmas is all about. Now I have Tiger, my family is complete.

And life has never been more lovely.

~ Love, Miss Cackle
