Nearly Two

It's hard to believe that my little man three is about to turn two. He is an amazing little fellow but so much more fiesty than Thomas. James has been throwing tantrums since he turned one and it's been quite a trying time for us.

However, what he takes from our sanity is returned in more than equal measure by the love and affection he shows us. At least that's my point of view.

He's not as articulate as Thomas 'Stephen Hawkings' Sherlock-Hemming but he is certainly more dextrous.

At the end of the week I am off with Jimmy Jams to visit Poppa and Granny. This will be my first trip away with James. I think it will be a challenge!

Today, again, I had a thought about the middle one who could not be with us. Gabriel, I'm so sorry you're not here - but for all our frailties and shortcomings, I hope you're watching over us with love.
