I have been thinking of birthday presents to buy. Something noisy, messy, educational? – so many toys to choose from.

Then Sandy (Baby Baby) tagged me with the Gift of Life. It made me stop. It made me think. It made me get back some perspective. I am so lucky. 2yo is happy, healthy and more of a delight than I can even begin to explain. It doesn’t matter what he gets for his birthday – he is so much more fortunate (and so am I) than so many other children and mothers.

This year alone 128000 babies won’t see their 1st birthday because of newborn tetanus.
