Bedtime Story

When Oliver was born, he received so many gifts from all of our generous friends and relatives, more than we could have ever imagined and many of which we have used regularly, some we still use today. Many of the clothes or toys he has been given have shown up in pictures on this site and have become daily favourites of our little tyke. But only one of those gifts has become our ace in the hole, an essential tool anytime we need Oliver to settle down or just want to make him happy and see him smile. He will dig this out of his toy box and bring it to you, arm outstretched, making many sounds that, if they were words, would be "read this to me!". Sit down, open the first page and you have not only a big smile but his full attention. Such a happy kid, and one that loves books too. We are lucky parents. Special thanks to Auntie Mer for finding a book with his namesake and one that struck a chord with him like no other. Once retired, this book will find a place in Oliver's special box.
