Growth

On January 1st we measured the children against the wall outside the loo.  That's where we have marked their height.  We had last measured them at the beginning of last year and we discovered that in the past twelve months, both children have grown three inches.  Three!  They were so pleased to see the difference they have asked several times since if we could measure them again.

Blythe looks sort of funny.

We had all had a flu shot the day before (see Brandt's bandaid?) and she had a slight reaction.

Her eyes were red, she had a runny nose, and she was sneezing a lot.

By the next day, however, she was better.
