1. Alec and I sleep in until 10.15am. Such a relief to feel as if I've got enough sleep.
2. On a morning where everything is spiralling out of control, a friend comes round to amuse Alec and comfort me.
3. After nursery I always give Alec milk and biscuits at the kitchen table. He can now tell me fragments about his afternoon, but I have to ask my questions in the right way. I might mention a name and get in reply: "Ally like Abecca" or a big smile and "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" He spent some time in the pre-school today and when I asked him about that, he said: "Glug glug glug". When I kiss his hands, they taste salty, so I thought he might have been using playdough -- when I ask, he makes rolling and patting gestures.
