Rowan Tree and Red Thread

I spent the morning with Oscar. sammywol was teaching as usual for a Thursday in term time, and Rowan was at school, so I was doing my 'mind the baby' thing with Oscar. He's been a bloody terror at night recently, with interrupted sleep and difficult nights for both his parents but today, despite a 40 minute wakeful period round 6am, he was golden.

We had a great time rolling the ball, making tea, listening to (and dancing to) my friend Barbara's Top Plays of 2007 CD (Thanks Barbara!) and generally spending a lot of time smiling and sharing hugs.

He must have realised he needed to up the balance in his 'I'm adorable don't sell me to gypsies' account. I think it worked.
