My child arrived just the other day

More of the paperclip family for the Rainbow Challenge - the title is the first line of Harry Chapin's Cat's in the Cradle (which I saw him perform he was in London the last time, and I've seen his daughter live, on the folk circuit). I started on the paperclip family saga because this week's Dogwood 52 week challenge is focusing on trash. I don't have a tiny yellow paperclip, so I'm using a tiny safety pin.

Three good things (to be completed later)
1. My daughter saw a lovely rheumatologist this morning who has made the expected Ehler's Danlos Type 3 diagnosis, which should make the other consultant appointments much easier;
2. We walked there through the Forest and past lakes, so saw a great crested grebe, lots of tufted ducks, diving in the really clear water, and heard a woodpecker (among other things)
3. Such madness at Guides - 20 plus girls running to "Flush" or "Bin" various sanitary items - general hilarity all round.

Thank you for looking, and being so enthusiastic about this series of shots - I'm wondering how to incorporate my Get Pushed challenge. I prefer to look at your pictures rather than thank you individually below.
Your series is really wonderful - quirky but fun!
Love Harry Chapin and this song is one of my favourite of his. So sad when he died.

@farmreporter he came over without his full band for the last tour, and one of my friends was an avid fan and dragged us to see him, which I have never regretted.

@koalagardens not quite the interpretation I intended - more Solomon Grundy

So clever!

A new baby is a precious scene, even with a paperclip family.
March 21st, 2019  
very clever and creative (each one)
March 21st, 2019  
I knew today had to be the baby! Lovely.
March 21st, 2019  
This one was so funny, keep going. Who knows what might be born next?
March 21st, 2019  
You are so creative. Am enjoying this series. Fav.
March 21st, 2019  
clever idea!
March 21st, 2019  
I hope with the proper diagnosis your daughter gets the help she needs. It sounds like quite a challenge.
March 21st, 2019  
@shutterbug49 thanks - the Ehlers-Danlos is more of a nuisance we can deal with - this was more to get the diagnosis confirmed and sort out physiotherapy to build strength in her joints.

Awww- isn't the little pin so cute! Time is really flying for this couple! Enjoying the series immensely and always loved that song!
March 21st, 2019  
oh, dear!
March 21st, 2019  
Love it! Very cute :)
March 22nd, 2019  
Most wonderful, so completely adorable.

A safety pin is a wonderful idea for a baby!! Love the softness of this which is perfect for the little one :)

I'm impressed with your skills in putting life and emotion into lifeless objects.
