"I'd Iove to Be Like Joe Again"

That's what Reid (my friends son) said to me today. I took me Pip Joe and Harry to the Dragon Forest and invited my pal Michelle and her boys Alex and Reid.

We first me them when Alex and Pip were babies; I had PND and Michelle, whom I had just met, helped me through the worse times and the rest!!. Reid was just going to Primary 1 and is now in first year at high school. He's a great kid and a thoughtful kind boy for his age.

Joe latched on to him today, showing him rabbit poo and where to find conkers. Reid was remanising and asking his mum what his first words were, talking about how good it would be to be a little kid again... I think he realised today that he is the oldest; growing up, nearly a teenager.

He and Joe had a ball though and this picture is of them inside a very old Yew tree. Reid is on the left and I think you can see the joy of childhood still on his face.


ps. Maissie is still under the bed!
