Noah's Family Tree

Noah has been working on his family tree at school. When we went for the fabulous parent-teacher meeting last week, we saw the tree. He left a space open for our new baby.

Last night after our advent reading when Octavia was getting ready for bed, I had that squeal feeling that I recall from being about 3, 4, 5, 6 maybe and on the way to visit Becah. "What, Mama?" Octavia asked.

"Soon there will be a new person on Noah's Family Tree," I offered.

"On Noah's Family Christmas Tree?" the reply.

Yes, Noah's family Christmas tree.

These next couple weeks are busy for the boy. He is singing carols with his choir next week at a joint concert in town and at a Carol Service at a local church. His class is going to the cinema for their Christmas Treat. He has to finish his Christmas preparations. And, of course, become a big brother x 2.

I've been asking baby to try to be considerate and come on a day when Noah sees the addition to his family Christmas tree as a light on a bough and not a branch that interferes with his decorating plans!
