The days of freely photographing Lauca are coming to an end. She now pretty much hates being photographed and glares or turns away whenever a camera is pointed in her direction. On the rare occasion that she consents to a photograph she pulls the worst fake smiles, so this photograph? This photo I love.

Afternoon storms. Hugs with visiting aunts and uncles. Being impatient together with your Great-Grandfather on Christmas Eve. Christmas light hunting. Waking at dawn to open presents from Santa.

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, five lov-ely things – 1. Picnic dinners on the beach, probably my favourite part of the holiday.

Lauca now has a best friend at kindergarten and she couldn’t be more pleased. She watched others pair up and began to really want a best friend of her own there. Fortunately for her another child was thinking the same thing, and they find each other quite grand. Even more fortunate, I like the kid’s [...]

The trailer for this forthcoming documentary on a year in the life of four babies from various corners of the world suggests that it will be to-die-for cute, and possibly also prone to a few cultural stereotypes. (Thanks to my French friend for the tip).

I have just come out of another week with two sick kids. Got nothing for ya, sorry. Sick children are hard enough but I do not deal well with the social isolation and sleep deprivation that comes with that package. I knew I had hit a particularly low patch when I tried to occupy myself [...]
