“Twinkle Sparkles” is born

While Grammy and Grandad were with us in Cape Town over Christmas, they took Taylor to build her 1st “build a bear". She chose to make a Dalmatian dog and lovingly named her “Twinkle Sparkles”. This dog is so special to Taylor as she put her and Grammy’s hearts inside before stuffing her and sowing her up. On our 18 hour drive back to Botswana from Cape Town, we stopped to spend the night in a hotel. Somehow, Twinkle Sparkles got left in the hotel and we did  not realize this until we were almost home. After many many tears, numerous calls to the hotel and arranging a courier to drop Twinkle Sparkles off to a friend in South Africa, I am happy to report that Taylor is now sleeping soundly in her bed with Twinkle Sparkles right beside her. “And they all lived happily ever after”
