Skyler has been learning a lot about the Olympics in school, children's church and at home. The Games of the Olympiad will be extra special to us this summer, since the hosting country happens to be our heritage!
After Sky's evening bath, we sat together to watch the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics. She brought out her hand made liberty torch and crown for the grand event.
We flocked to the tellie and I explained to the Princess about our British heritage and also Queen Elizabeth II. She certainly enjoyed watching the ceremony for it was quite an amazing spectacle. How wonderful to share in this rich tradition with my daughter. It was very moving!

Here's to a 16 day festival of sports and culture across the UK. We will be following it closely, so let the games begin!
