Though Baby Girl Rinck may not know it yet- she had an excellent Christmas. We are all so excited for her arrival so she had lots of gifts under the tree this year. Beautiful outfits, great books and, of course, money towards her college fund. One gift though was extra special, at least to mommy.
Pop Pop and Grammy (aka my parents) got Princess Sunshine a stuffed lamb that plays a lullaby for Christmas. The reason this gift was so special to me is that when I was born the first gifts my father ever got me was a lamb that played a lullaby for me. This too is our baby's first stuffed animal.
I braved our attic and found my lamb. Though it looks more like a black sheep now and it only plays a few notes of the lullaby at a time, it is clear that it has had years of love.
The new lamb makes me want to get her room all in order just so I can put the stuffed animal in her crib and eagerly anticipate her arrival.
