I guess it's most marked with Bradley - how fast kids grow up. As my Mam, hasn't seen Bradley for three months she noticed his speech straight away. And so have I since then, he's come on leaps and bounds. Though you have to guess at what he's saying, his dictionary is quite big. Coming out with stuff I had no idea he knew.

They both tore into the wrapping paper. But I sensed an anticlimax once Esme had opened everything, particularly as Bradley still had plenty left to unwrap, and some of the toys had to be assembled by myself. Well, OK that's Xmas for you.

Watching the skating in Telford. I haven't done this since Bradley was only a few months old. Esme and I used to do it regularly. Today the game was to climb over all the chairs to get to the top. Esme found this pretty easy - Bradley, well he did it, but boy was it a struggle.

To throw the bread a long way takes a lot of preparation and determination.

Whereas Bradley prefers to just pinch a little bit, and drop it close to the geese. Which, is a little bit dangerous as these geese will snatch it out of his hand if given a chance. He's been in tears a few times because of this. They've even shocked me a few times and those beaks have rasping 'teeth.'

Piece and quiet for a few minutes as Esme watches TV. She's going to grow up to be a good looking woman.
