Love is in the hair

I've just watched the British Lions rugby team stuff the Natal Sharks in South Africa, the Irish cricket team be stuffed by India in the Twenty20 cricket World Cup, the England football team go three up against Andorra at half-time and, after a short break to knock out this rubbish, will shortly be going back downstairs to watch the second half. Yes folks, Vanessa isn't in tonight.

She's joined a book club and this is her first meeting (no idea why, probably should've asked, might do later). Obviously I miss her very deeply. But hopefully it's on again next Wednesday - the Lions definitely have another game and I'm sure there's more cricket on too.

The big news of the day is that Jamie has fallen in love. Maybe. Almost certainly. Well, he might've done.

I went to pick him up after work from nursery and met him coming out through the baby room door to join the toddlers. He was being carried and the reason he was going across the corridor was because Sally had just been picked up by her Grandma and he was pining a bit.

Sally is actually the little "boy" with the "snowball perched on his head" I talked about last week (clearly I didn't look properly first time around and for that I apologise - I saw her again the next day and she's very pretty).

Sally and Jamie were the only two babies in the baby room today and, according to the nice lady looking after them, they spent the whole day together eating Weetabix, playing, eating raisins, playing, eating apples, playing, eating cottage pie, playing, eating bananas, playing, eating cheesy mash and then a bit more playing before Jamie came home for supper and milk. (He also had some toast before he left this morning - fat b******).

But the fact that apparently Jamie let Sally have some of his banana and cheesy mash (confirmed by the lady) showed - to quote Suggs - it must be love.

Sally also has blond hair (hence the snowball reference) and blue eyes, so children with either dark or ginger hair and dark eyes are therefore guaranteed.

I'm obviously delighted that our son has found lifelong happiness at such an early stage of his life - it just saves so much hassle (and cash).
