There are many things that we will need to have for K when he comes home this fall, some of which I have ideas about (bunk bed for the room he and Owen will share, a wheelchair) and many of which I don't know yet, but I figure we'll know more after we get to visit him some time this spring.
But one thing he does NOT need is stuffed animals. ;) His big brother and sister (Owen and Leah) have gone through their animals and picked out special ones that they want to give to him so he will have "buddies" when he comes home just like they do. And it's pretty sweet, because they're not just picking out the ones they don't want anymore, but they're choosing ones specifically for him. For example, Owen has a beanie baby squirrel, and a mini beanie squirrel that he's had for years: Winky and Baby Winky. He decided that he wants to give Baby Winky to K so they will both have a squirrel. Owen has also decided that K will need a special blanket, and so his "Auntie Sara" blanket, which is his second favorite most special one, he wants to give to K. That little boy waiting across the ocean doesn't have any idea the excitement he's got waiting for him here when his brothers and sisters finally get to have him around!
I'm delighted that Owen wants K to have the blanket I made!
ReplyDeleteI've got a couple of plans in mind for birthday gifts. Luckily his birthday is conveniently timed so I can send his gift along with Rin and Reu's!
