1. I am feeding Bettany so I can't help Alec at the toddler group craft table. With a bit of encouragement from the excellent women he produces a very fine hedgehog with tissue paper spines. They are much more hands-off than I would be, and I'm much more proud of the finished product than I would have been if I'd been 'helping'.
2. Bettany rolls over and looks very pleased with herself. Now she is not happy unless she's down on the floor where she can practise.
3. It's been one of those days: to hear Nick coming up the stairs.
