Tom LOVES getting any kind of post, especially parcels and even more so parcels from Nana. The last one certainly lived to expectations.
I knew my Mum had mentioned a while back that she'd bought Tom a pack of three t-shirts, one of which had dinosaurs on it and the other two were plain. So when there were t-shirts in the parcel I did my usual distracted Mummy 'oh yes, that's nice dear' and it was only later when I looked more closely that I saw all three had dinosaurs on, and even then only when i noticed the hand embroidery that I realised these were unique customised Tees.
Goodness only knows where she found the time but Nana had made two dinosaur appliqué patches - one a stegasaurus, the other a parasaurolophus (which I can only identify thanks to my four year-old nephew, Dan!). Unsurprisingly, they've been in pretty much constant use ever since, my next challenge will be to prise them off Tom long enough to wash, dry and pack them for our trip to England for Christmas.
Thanks Mum, you're a star! xx
