He&#8217;s the son of bubba&#8217;s old bandmate\/friend. We did a brief stop at their place (and had a much needed shower) towards the end of our 8-day Cairns-Sydney roadtrip. You didn&#8217;t get to play with him much at the party because he&#8217;s still so small. So were the two other toddlers. You still had fun playing with their toys though. And you took a purple balloon home \u2014 now that gave you a huge smile on your face.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/17887533633\" title=\"image(1) by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/534\/17887533633_90f074be96_z.jpg?resize=600%2C578&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"600\" height=\"578\" alt=\"image(1)\"><\/a><\/center><center>With the birthday boy.<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/18503915302\" title=\"henri4 by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/451\/18503915302_0687f5535a_b.jpg?resize=600%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"600\" height=\"683\" alt=\"henri4\"><\/a><\/center><center>Your were the big sis of three boys.<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/17887759153\" title=\"henri5 by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/427\/17887759153_c267ba3493_z.jpg?resize=600%2C458&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"600\" height=\"458\" alt=\"henri5\"><\/a><\/center><center>That cake!\u00a0<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/17887992483\" title=\"henri7 by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/365\/17887992483_670490bab4_b.jpg?resize=600%2C686&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"600\" height=\"686\" alt=\"henri7\"><\/a><\/center><center>Where all the icing went.<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Love,<br \/>\nMum <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Luna, &#8220;Mummy, please, let&#8217;s not eat animals and other creatures!&#8221; We were on our way to Henri&#8217;s first birthday earlier when you blurted this out.
