Mary Poppins called for a spoonful of sugar, for others it's all about chicken soup for the soul. To get a smile on my face I just need a little time with my boys.
There's Percy with his down ears, wagging stump, play bows and random bashy paw. He is so cute it's no wonder we were stopped by an artist the other day who wanted him as her model (I obviously said yes).
There's Mark who knows how to enjoy every day and how to be nice to those around him better than anyone else I know. Mark, who finds himself the funniest man around, especially today it would seem when he laughed at his own hilarity about ten times in just a few hours.
And then there's the little ones.
George my cute, adorable,cheeky little baby whose face lights up when he smiles. George who just this week learnt how to sit up unaided (rather then toppling to the side or showing off his yoga moves getting head to floor with legs outstretched). Who can now crawl all around the house and who is as pleased as punch with himself for such even with the occasional bunny hops or topples thrown in. George who had his first taste of solids on Thursday (apple slices) followed promptly with baby rice making a mess I had forgotten was possible.
And finally Alby. My daily (sometimes hourly) spoonful of sugar.
Alby was watching a film the other day and came away from it with the saying "you mess with him, you mess with me." Not very cute or funny when spoken out loud by me but have an almost four year old say it whilst gesticulating wildly with both hands and you discover your day is now complete.
Alby who learnt that in America they call 'Autumn' 'fall' because that's when the leaves fall and who responded with "yes, and they don't call it golf in America they call it molf. No. No actually mummy they call it hitter". Alby who is very excited about his upcoming "formally one" party but hopes all the children understand that it will be very loud as racing cars are very loud. Alby who loves to sing / scream along to the most cheesiest of Disney songs in the car with me and then concludes by saying "we're very clever aren't we mummy." Yes Alby, yes we are.
