At the rate of consumption these days, by the time she hits ten, the expected presents will require licences, warranties, and insurances! :D
She’s got a bunch of them around the house and it’s quirky but a nice thing to have as a way to be unique.
I am hoping that if Smallsteps has kids, she will have a box of memories that they can have as part of their traditions too :)
We haven’t made a damn parent friend lol very annoying.
It does take work. Repetitive work. Most people are very passive in connecting these days. Even our neighbours who have been friends with my wife since childhood, we hardly see. Keep trying!
