Had a wonderful day yesterday at my neice's birthday tea party - she has grown up so much in the last year and seems wiser than her seven years. What I love most about my neices is their amazing interaction with their worlds; having not had the excitement and zest for learning erased through intensive schooling, these home-educated girls are like sponges, absorbing, analysing, questioning, learning joyfully all the time. It is a very special gift my sister and brother-in-law share with them.Woke up this morning to skies full of rain and a sofa covered in sick, an offering we presumed was from our littlest cat. Whilst we were arguing how to clean it up (R having found numerous websites saying use bicarb of soda), the dog heaved up another pile of sick on the carpet. So our morning was spent cleaning up sick and administering water, love and homeopathic remedies - if anything prepares you for parenthood, I'm sure having pets must be it!
