Meeting Suki for the first time







One of Alfie's godmothers moved to New York(from Banbury)when Alf was about(-7) months old, meaning I was only 3 months pregnant. We have visisted America, but only NC and Suki and Harj have been here but not near us or for long enough to arrange a visit until a few weeks ago. She is one of the doting-est godmothers imaginable, she just lives a few thousand miles too far for us to see her as often as we'd like to.
It started off a bit rocky as Suki does not find being quiet a natural state. I think Alf went into a bit of shock and refused to come down off my hip. He eventually was lured down by the toys. We met up at Suki's sister's house and Suki's neice, Layla and nephew, Dillion have lots of toys Alfie was interested in trying out for himself. Since the visit, Alf has told me a couple of times that we should go to Suki's house or that the person on the phone is Suki so it's clear that she made an impression on him. Hopefully we'll all be able to meet up again sometime soon, although Dillion was not so happy to see Alf playing with his stuff so it might do to wait a few months.
