Happy New Year!

 
I was trying to explain to Leo this morning about how today was the start of a New Year, but to a boy whose concept of time extends to today, yesterday and tomorrow (sometimes he even gets those mixed up) it was perhaps asking a little too much. Nevertheless, he is saying "Happy New Year" to everyone he meets.

I was also discussing New Year's Resolutions with him and I told him how mine was to play more sport this year. I asked him what Ollie's should be and he replied, "Eating!" Finally I asked what his was, hoping that he would say eating too...

"Playing!"

"That's not a New Year's Resolution. It should be something that's good for you; that you don't do very much of."

"Playing computer games!"

Anyway, to all our nearest and dearest (in fact any who stumble across this blog), we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you all the very best for the new year.

Love

Nigel, Mary, Leo and Ollie xxxx
