At home with Reuben

So rare that is it, just Reuben and I, at home, enjoying each other's company.

We dropped Callum off at preschool and returned home for a spot of 2nd grade maths, seen here, that Reuben's excited to be conquering despite appearances here, some hairbrushing (I'm guessing this was before judging by the wings) and later for Callum, a swimming lesson.

Reuben just amazes me. How I long to know what thought processes he goes through, what jokes lie embedded in his head before he blurts them out to great amusement. Such an utterly special person that I feel really rather humbled to call my son.

PS Love the image from last year. It was featured too in the Los Angeles Times.
