Reason No. 67

I love Seth more than I did yesterday because he stayed home with Daddy while Amelie went to her party, uncomplainingly and the 'Lego King and Crown Prince' did their usual fantastic work, with Seth creating the 'pod racer' below completely on his own and out of his imagination.

I love Amelie more than I did yesterday because she had an ice skating party this afternoon, for the older sister of one of her friends.  Mummy was very trepidatious because last time we went Amelie was very timid and clung on tight to her 'penguin' skate aid throughout.  Today she was a revelation - off skating on her own within 15 minutes of starting, abandoning her penguin and starting to play fun ice hockey with her friends.  A star of the future?!
