Edafest Day 28

Eda's First Birthday!

And 'We went to the zoo, zoo, zoo!'

We've had a super day starting with fun with a balloon on mummy's bed before she went to work.

She had a morning nap for the first time in three days as she had a long day ahead of her. Chris, Eda and I got the bus to Clifton and Bristol Zoo. It was a bit cooler this morning so we started out in jackets but the sun soon came out and by lunchtime we were picnicking. Eda loved the Ring Tailed Lemurs who were out sunning themselves and the Crown Lemurs  who were just getting their lunch. She loved the Meercats too and the two Asiatic Lions. She kept going all afternoon and only dropped off to sleep for 10 mins as we waited for Grace to pick us up at 3.30.

John had arrived home early and so it was present time. She got some lovely things and seemed thrilled with them all. The first present was from daddy, a real wooden tambourine. She shook it immediately and then went to get daddy's guitar. A folk group in the making. I also have to mention the present from John's sister - pair of strawberry shoes! She loves them and went to get them to put on again later.

We did all this and she still got to bed at the usual time!
She's a very lucky little girl and so are we to be part of her life!
