Arlo turns ten today- ten! It's hard to believe a decade has passed, yet at the same time not surprising at all. Tom jokes that he feels 50 years old these days.
My friend Kylie took this photo of A wrapped up in his baby blanket. My Mum spun lots of different fleeces to make the yarn for the blocks. Then she knitted them up in various stitch patterns, and some pieces were crocheted to create varying textures. I still love it (and so does he) and it reminds me of that very happy time in 2003 when we lived in a cold and falling-down wooden house and had no money, but it didn't matter at all. Rose-coloured glasses, eh?
And for today, a special midwinter, Matariki, warm at home, tenth birthday song. One of Arlo's favourites- This Must Be the Place.
