Determined

Tuesday with Simone. Good-humoured as ever, but clearly not at her best - apparently she'd got Jack up 3 times in the night. No wonder he looked a bit bleary-eyed when I picked S up at 8am. Marianna is away for work for a couple of days, so J is on his own with the girls.
Anyway, we had an easygoing day, pottering about around the house, garden and park.
Simone is really moving on with speech, both articulating words more clearly and putting the beginnings of simple sentences together: "big bus there!" ..."Bike! My bike!"
At mealtimes she likes to insist on sharing her food with us - handing over a mangled piece of fruit or proffering a spoonful of pasta. And she brooks no argument :-) Probably it's doing our immune systems a lot of good...
