Little A always picks up on when I am worried, so I try to unworry myself as much as I can - thank heavens for yoga! Little A is currently suffering from a cold and consequently not very chatty - she's enjoying lots of TV though :o). Our Christmas and New Year will be delightfully muddled in deed! X.

I'm so glad you were able to overcome the flying nerves and have a lovely time. Isn't it funny sometimes how our kids pick up on how we're feeling and are able to provide some reassurance. A nice reminder of the two-way nature of the parenting relationship :) I do miss Little A and her chat. A clever bean just like her Mum.
