Reason No. 24

I love Seth more than I did yesterday because he swam without armbands for the first time and was very proud of himself, even though he admitted that a grown-up held under his tummy for most of the time.

I love Amelie more than I did yesterday because she suggested that Seth should take a picture of the dinosaur mug that he made at the weekend to take to his show-and-tell - he has to take a photograph of something and talk about it and Amelie's suggestion was absolutely spot-on and something even us adults hadn't thought of.

And Seth and I love ice cream more than we did yesterday because we had a Mr Whippy cone in between rain showers this afternoon - he ate the cone and I licked the leftovers off his nose afterwards because we didn't have any tissues!
