Birdie Arrives......
"Mum, can I go and iron Birdie's new clothes so they're ready when she gets here?"
"Okay Sherbet, but you know you have to stand on the soap box to reach.....and be careful you don't burn yourself!"
"Mum, can I go and iron Birdie's new clothes so they're ready when she gets here?"
"Okay Sherbet, but you know you have to stand on the soap box to reach.....and be careful you don't burn yourself!"
"I can hear the postman Mum.....she's HERE at last!!! I can't wait to meet my fair Twinny"
"Oh my goodness, this is a BIG box! How am I supposed to get it open??? I want to let Birdie out right NOW!!"
"Oh my goodness, this is a BIG box! How am I supposed to get it open??? I want to let Birdie out right NOW!!"
"I know, I'll go and get Mum's craft knife 😎 "
"I heard that Sherbet.....you be VERY careful with that knife, it's very sharp! I don't need a trip to the hospital emergency dept today!!"
"I heard that Sherbet.....you be VERY careful with that knife, it's very sharp! I don't need a trip to the hospital emergency dept today!!"
"This is hard work! I hope I don't cut Birdie 😱 I don't like blood much"
"YAY it's open......now I can get Birdie out and meet her"
"Boy oh boy Birdie, you're very heavy for a little Sloth girl"
"It's okay Birdie, I'll be gentle so I don't hurt you"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK.........I can't look.......PLEEEEEEASE take it away"
"What on earth is wrong Sherbet? Birdie will be very hurt if you talk to her like that."
"Bbbbbut Mum, sssssshe's HEADLESS.......whhhhhaaaaaaaaa.......someone's killed her and taken her head 😫 😱 "
"Oh Sherbet don't be silly. Look in the box and see if it's there. Aunty Sarah probably put it in a separate bag so she wouldn't get damaged on her long trip across the Big Pond."
"Aaaaalright then, I'll look and see if hhhhhhher hhhhhhead is there. It's not nice being headless."

"Oh Birdie, I was so worried your head was missing. I'm sssssso glad you're alright. You look beautiful and I love you lots 💚 "
"You look just like me only your skin is very pale. Do you feel alright? You're not sick are you? Being without your head would make anyone sick I reckon!"
"I feel fine Sherbet. I'm just a bit cold....well, freezing actually! It was nice and warm in the UK where I come from.....it's summer there. It must be winter here if it's this cold.....and if it's not then I think I want to go back to the UK!!"
"Oh sorry, let's go and get your new clothes that Mum made for you and warm you up a bit. The heater's on too, so you won't be cold here....promise. And soon it will be summer here with lots of sunshine. Then we'll be able to play outside."
"Ummmm, I don't know if I want to do that Sherbet. I heard that there are nasty things that bite.....like snakes....eeeeeeeew.....and spiders.....another eeeeeeeeew!! I don't want to get bitten!"
"Don't be silly Birdie, they don't come looking for trouble. As long as you stay away from them it's okay. Come on, let's get you dressed."

"Now that you're all dressed in your new clothes, you need to put on your magical Sloth Dust necklace. You should wear it all the time to protect you from nasty things. It's like Faery Dust, only different."
"You're very pretty Birdie."
"Awwww thank you Sherbet, you're really pretty too. I like your blue skin....I bet you don't get sunburnt like I do. I like my new clothes......my dress has Ladybugs all over it. Ladybugs are my best friends. And your dress has birdies all over it lol Are birds your best friends?"
"Ummmmm well, Mum actually made this dress for you to go with your name, but when she tried it on me I wouldn't give it back. I wanted to have it so we were both 'birdies'. I knew you loved Ladybugs so I asked Mum to make you a dress with them instead 😃 "
"You're very pretty Birdie."

"Now we're really Twins. We look the same and have the same sort of clothes. I'm so lucky to have you here Birdie. I'm going to send Aunty Sarah a big hug for letting Mum adopt you."
We're going to have lots of fun together Sherbet, but first I have a pressie for you. Sarah sent it all the way across the Big Pond to give to you......here it is......"
