Bushveld sounds and jelly tots

We spent a lovely time at Sabi River Sun with Cam’s Nanna, Grandpa-Linds, Uncle Dunx and Aunty Snoox. There's nothing like a sunrise through the fever trees of the lowveld to remind one that His mercies are new every morning. Cam thoroughly enjoyed the cacophony of hippo calls and bird shrieks, and got close enough to some Egyptian geese to see them – and chase them! He just loved the wide open spaces, bashing a tennis ball and kicking a soccer ball (sort of...), singing on the stoep, going for walks, running across the bridges, and generally being doted on by all.

His potty training is going well – give it up for motivational jelly tots! :) We continue to pray for wisdom and discernment with regard to his untimely nightly awakenings. We spent a long time in prayer with him last night, on the lounge carpet in front of a roaring fire. We asked him first if there was anything he wanted to pray about. He said, ‘Dear Lord Jesus; for nothing to be scared of in my blue bed. Amen.’ I’m still trying to scrape my heart off the carpet...

Today was his first day of school with his new teacher, Aunty Rene. He gave her a big smile and a huge hello hug! :)

Struggling to upload photos today - will post some soon!
