The last week has been an emotional whirlwind for Maya - she has had her final day of nursery, watched her bed being carried out of the front door and the contents of 13 St Ann's Lane slowly vanishing, been given food she's rarely given to finish up the contents of our cupboard, seen numerous friends, neighbours, family members and both sets of grandparents (which almost never happens).
Today, on our last day in England, she played happily outside in the deliciously warm spring sunshine and I even heard her say on the phone to her 'Auntie Nu-Nu' that she was going on a plane to India to see elephants and cows! Bless the gorgeous girl. She has very, very little concept of how dramatically her life is about to change. But then again, it's been a long time since I was last in India also...I think it may be a case of us helping each other. She was over-tired and over-excited this evening but eventually was coaxed to sleep after we found her wandering the corridors several times, inexplicably moving the potty around and stacking bath toys up on her bottom bunk.
I hope she will be alright. She will be alright if she has all her family around her. I hope you enjoy reading Maya's adventures and I hope you, my darling Maya, will one day enjoy reading this. xx
Best of luck Maya! You will LOVE India, and the experiences your wonderful parents will provide you. Love you, David
