Shopping for Two

On my way home, I stopped at a place to pick up something to present S, my niece, as a gift for her first birthday. I was highly taken by a really cute cuddly elephant...so that got picked and gift wrapped.

I also bought a really sweet pink bunny - for my baby. This is the very first time I have bought something for the baby. I say 'the' baby, as if it really exists. It does not.

This is huge for me. I am not sure how much time will it be, before I can lay it next to my baby. Second, in my culture, nothing is bought for the baby before it is born because it is considered bad luck. Well, I am not sure how more bad can my luck get. So, what the heck, if I like it, I will buy it.

Just bring me my baby.

BTW, it is Tick Tick 2!

    Lucky niece!
