On the stairs

You can see the Amazing Magician Baby who can now go up and down stairs, another new trick mastered over one bewildering (for me) day. I go upstairs, trip over the baby I was sure was downstairs. I go downstairs, trip over the baby I was sure was upstairs. I am downstairs, I hear a burglar upstairs! No, just the baby. I tidy up his brothers' room - then it's a mess. He has learnt the art of stealth crawling too.

He has also mastered shutting the washing machine door and doing a 40 degree wash.

I am hoping he will combine this new talent, the stairs trick and his obsession with the washing basket into becoming a more productive member of the household.

You can also see my daughter with her new 'short' hair. I left her with her hairdresser and the instruction that as long as it was in a straight line, she could chose the length. Then I had my hair cut by someone else at the same time. And now we have matching hair.
