My darling Christopher,
I wanted both of us to remember this start of advent, which was my favourite of all time.
We woke up together and you asked for your usual back scratch! 'Harder mummy' you say and I do it until my arms drop off.
The we read a beautiful Hungarian Christmas poem that was a gift from your Godmummy Erika. You liked the picture of the cosy tree decorated with warm colours.
We then found our wooden nativity set and you asked if you could put it up on your desk in your room. So there it is with everyone snuggled up inside, hiding from the rain, as it's a very wet day out today!
You lit the candle in the robin candle holder that you chose from the Range the other day and we munched on our breakfast together, you on your peanut butter and honey toast with frozen cherries, yes frozen cherries! And I on my carrot and cherry porridge and we chatted about Christmas memories.
I told you about one I had as a child in Ulladulla in Australia, as it has stayed as one of my favourite Christmases from my childhood.
We also read a few pages of my favourite book, The Boy the Mole the Fox and the Horse and you said the boy doesn't know very much as he's asking a lot of questions. We then established that it's quite brave to ask questions and perhaps it shows that you actually know a lot, but you're curious. It's wonderful to be able to stay curious isn't it?
I asked you what you thought Jesus was like? I said I thought he was kind and funny and forgiving. You added 'loving'
Mummy: I often talk to Jesus when I have a sad or angry heart and when I need to be forgiven for something.
Christopher: Does he forgive you?
Mummy : Always.
Christopher : How do you know?
Mummy : Because I always have a peaceful heart after I talk to Him.
With all my love my precious boy,
Mummy x
