don’t treat me like such a mammal.
Ethan has been coining new phrases every day lately. As I reported here, one recent smash hit has been “it’s a wobbly planet”. We find this expression has a hundred and one uses around the home. Yesterday, a new one: “Dont treat me like such a mammal, Dad!”
In the waiting room, on a wobbly planet
Waiting for a birth. It’s like a cross between “24” and Groundhog day. We’re fine and having fun in the meantime. But it’s all meantime, all the time – and we’re going a bit mad. As Ethan says, “It’s a wobbly planet.”
First Day at School
Somehow this day has arrived. Here is Ethan on his first day at school. He showed no apprehension as we trundled through the throngs of weepy camera-toting parents, and blinked back the tears when we left. We had to do the same because we couldn’t show him how we were really feeling today. I had three peeks around the doorway after he thought we had left, and he was making a really good fist of it. He’s a brave kid.
Who knows? Maybe we will be back down at the school today and bringing him to hospital to see his new sister. What a week.

Ethan’s Meccano Truck
This nifty Meccano truck took 5 months, on and off, to build. We gave Ethan the Meccano for his birthday and he picked the hardest model inb the book as his first! Thanks from Ethan to all the grownups who helped!
