see how they treat me?

What a truly expressive boy this is. Cruelly forbidden from interfering with his sister's outdoor cafe - his turns to tell us his thoughts on the sorry state of affairs. A few seconds later he has been seen - acknowledged - his feelings known. He can get back to his work.

A little bit sick, a little bit sad

We've had a difficult few days as we have been blighted by endless viruses and always seem to have someone in the family who is feeling poorly. This last few days it's been little Jamie who is hot, streamy and miserable. He has needed to be carried about and has had to take a little break from the important activity of pointing at things and commenting on them. So this has left and tired and cranky mama and little big person who has taken it a bit hard as a result and has had to give firm instructions to "just be nice and kind Mummy."
